It’s here! Our waiting has come to an end. The arrival of Christmas. For you, maybe it means a day off. A day of traditions. A day of favorite foods. A day for family. A day of giving. A day of receiving. A day of music. A day of reflection. A day of quiet. A day of noise. A day to remember. A day to forget.
Whatever this day means for you, I pray that your day will be meaningful. I pray that the Baby will melt your heart. I pray that the Song will lift your spirit. I pray that the Angels will give you a sign. I pray that the Message will move you to walk on into a new year with resolve and with purpose. Let’s keep in mind The Work Of Christmas, as stated so clearly in this poem by Howard Thurman:
When the song of the angels is stilled,
when the star in the sky is gone,
when the kings and princes are home,
when the shepherds are back with their flocks,
the work of Christmas begins:
to find the lost,
to heal the broken,
to feed the hungry,
to release the prisoner,
to rebuild the nations,
to bring peace among the people,
to make music in the heart.
”I came so that you can have real and abundant life – more and better life than you ever dreamed of!” (John 10:10)
Merry Christmas, everyone!
