On the church calendar, it’s called “ordinary time.” The color is green - the ordinary color of living plants. It's the period between Epiphany and Lent and the long period that follows Pentecost until Advent. Most of the church year is spent in "ordinary time."
Episcopalians have their Book of Common Prayer, and Presbyterians have our Book of Common Worship.
It sounds boring - ordinary, common. Even so, the first Christmas and
Easter appeared to be an ordinary birth and an execution of a common
criminal.
The fact that God chooses to be known in such a way is comforting
to those who live common lives in ordinary circumstances. God can and
does act through such folk. God's power and majesty may be known
through nature, but God's intimacy and love are known through the faith
filled nurture of one human being for another.
Any apprentice of Christ can be - by the power of the Holy Spirit
alive in them - such a nurturer of another human being. It is what the
good news of the gospel calls us to do in the ordinary time of our
common life together.
Ordinary time may become God's time, if used wisely - may permit
us to focus on neglected important matters. The question for all of us
is, "What will we do with this ordinary time that is more than marking
time, that is living in God's time?"
