Epiphany

This morning I had two things in my box. The first was a big star balloon. It hovered around the altar for all to see. It is the same star balloon I had for the children at our service on Christmas Eve. The second was a king. He was one of three who left St. Mark's on Christmas Eve to travel through the parish in search of the Christ child. The kings and the star remind us to keep our eyes and hearts open for signs of God in our world. If we aren't keeping Christ in our heart and watching for him, we might miss those wonderful opportunities to see his love in action.
