BTW, according to Birdie, today is Official Blog DeLurking Day. So if you never leave a comment, please delurk! I'm off to delurk, myself now.
When I held my newborn babies
Close against my heart
Soft, warm and fragrant,
I thought of Mary ----
------holding the newborn Christ Child
Close to her heart
Soft,
Warm,
Fragrant.
The drifts of incense offered upon
All the altars of the world
Cannot smell as sweet
As the warm breath of the Christ Child,
The ruah of this
very
living
God -----
-----against his mother's cheek.

When I first held my little girl it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Its cliche to say, but so true.

Hey rev mommy!
And when I held my grown daughter for the first time since giving her up for adoption, it was as amazing as holding all of my children at birth. 2004 was the best year of my life.
I already de-lurked but I couldn't resist the sweet frangrance.
De-lurk
De-lurk
Count me as two de-lurkers.

Wunderbar! DeLurking Working!

I can't say I'm really de-lurking, since I just discovered this blog--I haven't had time to lurk! But I am excited to know you're here. The life of minister-mom is truly special and it's nice to read some good writing from people who give it as much thought as I do.

Hi, Reverend Mommy! I found you on RLP, too. I knew there had to be kindred spirits out there somewhere who know what it's like to combine the joys and challenges of motherhood and ministry.
Guess you can count this as a de-lurking, although you are too new of a discovery for me to have been an official lurker. Hey - it's fun anyway!
just found your site via your post on my blog. thanks for delurking. :-)
the above piece is beautiful. the smells and sensations of a newborn child are unforgettable. thank you for calling them to the forefront of my mind.
OK, I'm delurking! But you do the same at my place! (And thanks for the link! Blessings of the Way be upon you.)
