“Was There a Moment?” Happy Christmas from Building Faith

 

In this season of the Incarnation of Jesus Christ:
Wishing you and yours a blessed Christmas,
from your friends at Building Faith!

 

 

 

 

“Was there a moment, known only to God,
when all the stars held their breath,
when the galaxies paused in their dance for a fraction of a second,
and the Word, who had called it all into being,
went with all his love into the womb of a young girl,
and the universe started to breathe again,
and the ancient harmonies resumed their song,
and the angels clapped their hands for you?”

–Madeleine L’Engle
