From the first one we get words like chronology and chronometer -- both of which are words for tracking the passage of time...seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, eons...<BR/><BR/>Kairos is that time in between time, when the timelessness of the eternal breaks into the time of mortality and provides a glimpse of what could be...opportunities that present themselves. Perhaps it is also another term for the serendipitous? <BR/><BR/>Anyway, that's what I mean. When we keep our senses open to the places when God is moving in our time, we are presented with amazing opportunities for fellowship with God and participation with him in his mission of love.<BR/><BR/>Happy Christmas to you and yours, friend! And may the New Year be especially blessed ... full of kairos time, back there in the '70s :^)AbiSomeonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08541511210479882916noreply@blogger.com
