Thomas Lux wrote a poem called "God Particles."
"God explodes, supernovas, and down upon the whole planet
a tender rain of Him falls
on every cow ,ladle, leaf, human, ax handle, swing set...
I think he wanted each of us...to have a tiny piece of Him
though we are unqualified for even the crumb of a crumb."
When I read his words my own imagination went to the Christmas star, perhaps a supernova burst of light announcing the Advent; rain and the reign of God! Showers of blessing!
Christmas is our gospel poem of God coming down upon the whole planet, and in particular particle, as a child in Bethlehem, as good news for all the earth.
I like to think that in this God particle of Incarnation, the Word became flesh and dwelt among us indeed! And in the gift of the Holy Spirit dwelling in us , as the Christ is born in us, as the light shines in us. we too have a tiny piece of God.
So now let the Christ grow! Let the love grow! Let the gift grow! Let the light grow! Let the presence of God grow! Welcome the God particle graced upon you! Join us in the event s of Advent and Christmas. Perhaps you will see the signs of God ." in cow, ladle, leaf, human, ax handle, swing set..."
or perhaps in bread and cookie,
candle and bow,
wreathe and card,
song and verse,
child and silent night,
with prayers and deeds of peace,
Particles of Immanuel, God with us.
Blessed Holy days, Pastor Rory

The end result is actually quite charming and I think fans of Sinn, or replica watches who is looking for a hardy and tough chronograph, will be pleased. The accompanying app on your smartphone also provides quicker and easier control of the watch various functions. The best thing about it, to me at least, is that these new rolex replica sale are significantly smaller, which makes them easier and more comfortable to wear. Junghans is a hublot replica watch brand that is becoming increasingly popular. Many of you were intrigued by the 2018 replica watches and it is not difficult to see why. The design is quirky and straddles the line between replica watches and modern. The dial is clean, but is all boring. It is practical too, with highly legible hands and rolex replica sale registers.
