Dancing with Divines
December 15, 2021 (Wednesday)
Eighteenth Day of Advent
Divine
Today’s Divine is the Puritan noblewoman Margaret Hoby. Her diaries were the earliest known ones that were written by a woman in English, and they do not have great theological insights or spiritual epiphanies. Instead, Lady Hoby’s accounts depict the ins and outs of daily life, and present the reader with an authentic faith and an ordinary piety.

Prayer
Almighty God, I simply pray thank You for Your presence in the ordinary and mundane, and thank You for Your gracious hand in the normal things from day to day. Through Jesus Christ, Your Son, Who came to dwell among us. Amen.
