The cross is the tie that binds us - to each other, to Christ, to eternity. As it turns out, it's also that shape that holds our bodies together. Simply described, Laminin is a protein network foundation for most cells and organs and without it tissues would not, could not, survive.
My prayer almost as a mantra lately has been that God would be at the core of this life. At the heart of my decisions, the reflections of my behavior, and that the foundations of my relationships might be rooted and maintained by His very being.
It's helpful to think what holds me together both spiritually and physically - is the cross.
In yoga this morning I thought about how many tissues it takes to hold a single pose. The amount of coordination for the body to move at all is another miracle worth noticing in itself. I couldn't help but think of God at the center.
And, like most days, I took what I learned there off the mat and into my day.
As my feet move, I'm praying they bring the good news of God's love to the world I encounter.
As my hands move, I'm praying they are extended in peace and love.
As my heart beats, I'm praying as blood pumps through this body, God would flow through me.
And I'm praying that the cross would be more than the symbolic representation of my faith. More than jewelry. More than featured on my walls and engraved on the front of my Bible and BCP. So much more than an earthly mark.
I'm praying I would remember that my cells cry out to be connected to him. That I'm just passing through. It was his sacrifice that led me to him, his love that keeps me near him and the cross that leads me Home.
