The Infant Lord
Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you now dismiss your servant in peace. For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the sight of all people, a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel. (Luke 2:29–32)
Simeon blesses Jesus
These words, usually in a more traditional translation, have found their way into the closing section of many worship…

“Get out of your routine”
Anxiety is not your routine
Depression is not your routine
Frustration is not your routine
Heartbreak is not your routine
“God is saying it is time for you to get out of your routine it's time for you to come out of that cave that you have been in and show up there fresh oil for every day there's fresh power for every day there's creativity still a sign to your name. I hear god saying it's not going to be what I did for other people that I've got a new thing that I want to do just for you and because it is a new thing I need you to be willing to break out of the old so you can step into the new….

even for period typical ableism it still drives me nuts for karen to go oh poor matt how can he deal and get around as if he hasn't been blind most of his life at this point and living on his own by himself as an adult for his entire adult life after college and has also lived in the city his whole life like girl use your damn brain he can get around by himself just fine. good god. like take five seconds to use your brain. literally adult man who lives by himself if nothing else that should tell you he is fine and when he needs assistance has the knowledge and ability to go get it you act as if he can't even walk on the sidewalk by himself. he literally shows up to work by himself. it drives me up the wall sometimes how she sees proof of him functioning fine independently literally witnesses it on the daily and still thinks these things. like again foggy isn't great either bc again the period typical ableism (and just general ableism in the world outside of this period as this is a common attitude of viewing disabled people as helpless and unable to function even if they are people who do live independently (and im not touching on people who do need extra support and caretaking in this context. as this post is about these characters in the context of a story. so im talking about what we see there instead of any truly meaningful nuanced way) but the writing here is like. Particularly this way due to the time) he has a modicum more of understanding that matt is literally a capable grown adult man. literally told karen matt is a big boy who can handle himself and then karen went b-b-but you forget he's blind as if foggy hasn't known him for years of his life and is his best friend like PLEASE SEE HIM AS AN ADULT. I AM GOING TO GO INSANE. PLEASE RESPECT HIM IF YOU LOVE HIM SO DEARLY. AND EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T. JUST RESPECT HIM AS A PERSON!!!!!!

In every generation [Sophia] passes into holy souls and makes them friends of God and prophets... Wisdom inspirits all souls, making them lovers of Wisdom-literally, philo-sophias. The inheritance of Wisdom can be left to all who come afterward, for "in kinship with Wisdom there is immortality.."

Everything that shines isn't gold. Every one thinks forgiveness is a lovely idea, until they have something to forgive. Whatever you decide to do, make sure it makes you happy. You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it’s better to listen to what it has to say. Never stop being a good person because of bad people. The broken will always be able to love harder than most. Once you've been in the dark, you learn to appreciate everything that shines.

FIDELIS AD MORTEM
Upon a time
In Heaven's bower
Blossomed sweetly
Fairest flower
Singing gayly
Shining bright
Granting listeners
Wings for flight
Summoned hither
From the bower
Here to wither
Fairest flower
Here to sing
Amidst the gloom
Showing listeners
How to bloom

Key to feel peace from God
Why do you suffer more than you need too? Consider Matthew 6:14-5 "if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." Sincerely forgive to feel peace. Don't believe me? Try it. I'm so thankful to feel the peace God blesses me with when He helps me forgive. I forgive not for the person who hurt me, but for myself. To feel good & peacefully calm in myself. It works. God works.
