“…this book reminds us that there are no unsacred moments; there are only sacred moments and moments we have forgotten are sacred,” states Andrew Peterson in the Foreword. Soft in hand and rich with wisdom, Every Moment Holy sharpens my vision. I don't want to put it down.
With his poetic voice, author McKelvey’s liturgies lead me to see “beginning a book,” “the first hearthfire of the season” and other often overlooked everyday moments as holy moments. Because they are. I run my fingers along the smooth, red satin ribbon before placing it between the pages to mark my place — to mark the holy moment that changes the way I see.
Now grant us strength and grace, O God,
sufficient to the remains of the day,
that we might move through its unfolding
in humble obedience to your will
and in sensitivity to your Spirit
and in joyful expectancy of your coming kingdom.
May the light of that eternal city
illuminate our hearts, our paths, our vision
through these next hours, O Lord.
Amen.
— Douglas McKelvey, Every Moment Holy
Amen. I was struck by your description of slowly placing the red satin ribbon to mark your place, and just how that fits in with the image you present here.
