Day 6: Between the Miracles
Scripture: John 1:1-5, 14a
What About Bob
Lord, you were made flesh.
You were made like us
for a short time.
We hear mostly, though,
of the miracles you performed
and the tragedies you went through.
We don't hear much about
your best friend Bob or
the girl you had a crush
on in second grade.
We don't usually hear
that side of any hero's life.
And though it may be slightly
blasphemic or unconventional,
I like to think you, Jesus, went
through a bit of that while here with us.
That you got a taste of a normal,
mortal life somewhere
in between miracles.
Thank you for giving us these mortal lives
and for being with us
on Earth and in heaven.
Amen.
Hugs & Love,
Rachel
