Holiday Conversations Around The Table Have You Worried? Try This
I Read this blog post by Ann Voskamp yesterday and thought I would share a portion of it here.
If you would like to read the whole post in its entirety, click the link the below.
I love you all!
Have a very blessed Thanksgiving.
And if you so happen to venture out tomorrow, maybe that would be a great day to embody some of the things we talked about this past Sunday (compassion, generosity and mercy).
"And I peel squash and there is God and there is all the debates and pain and news everywhere and yada, yada, yada. Yadah, it’s Hebrew, and it literally means to hold out the hand in four ways I guess there is yeah, yadah, yadah, yadah— so many ways to hold out our hands these days in the midst of all kinds of brokenness?
1. yadah means to bemoan with this wringing of hands.
2. yadah means to revere with an extending of hands.
3. yadah means to upturn hands to confess. 4. Yadah means to raise hands to give thanks.
Yadah — the whisper of Psalms 92:1:
“It is a good thing to [yada] — give thanks — and sing praises to unto thy name, O most High.”
It is a good thing to yada around the holiday tables: in the midst of the wringing of hands, to extend the hand.
It is a good thing to yada around the holiday tables: hold out the hand — in the midst of arguing hands, to hold a hand in praise to God.
It is a good thing to yada around the holiday tables: in the midst of rising voices, to raise a hand and give thanks — to brazenly confess that God is deeply good though the world is desperately not."
