Christmas Guest Post #3: Erin and Anna Teske

"PRESENT"

Present with Your presence
Remembering the silence, the promise, the waiting, the hope
Emmanuel is finally
here.
among us.
Sleeping but not asleep.
Earth expectant...ready.
in murmured, pleading worship.
Now. And here. Hear and bow.
Tiniest of packages contains the fascinating weight of eternity

I have known Erin my entire life, and Anna I've known for all of hers. Erin is my oldest sister and is hands down the most creative person I have ever known. Anna, her youngest daughter, is one of the most driven. A mom of three girls, Erin is currently a preschool teacher at a private Christian school in Frederick, MD. Anna is completing her senior year at the same school and is currently candidating for both the Naval Academy and Air Force Academy. They wrote this acrostic poem on their drive from Maryland to Chicago last week. Talk about beautiful mother-daughter bonding over things that matter!
