I am still in Santa Fe. I haven’t blogged a whole lot because much of my time was spent meeting with people as well as preparing for a week of speaking and leading worship at Taylor University Fort Wayne, for renewal week Sept 10-14. I am still trying to prepare an immersive worship environment for the Monday night of the renewal week (I’m doing meditations/activations on Jesus’ incarnation, as well as his ascension and reign), and struggling with it, as sometimes happens!
In my searching, though, I found this incarnation meditation that I thought would be wonderful for children (simple language, plus bodily noises always keep the attention of young ones).
It was the first Christmas and…
God giggled
God farted
God burped
God gurgled
God needed a cuddle
God was a baby…Christmas reminds us:
That we don’t have to find God – he finds us in our humanity –
We don’t have to go up – he came down
We find God in the physical, in our bodies, in material, in humanity.
God became one of us….
That is certainly humorous, and that same time you can see how that could really share a message of the fullness of diety and man that Christ was.
