Reflections

Beautiful music – sights and sounds…

People may smile more at this time.

As I sit by a fire, I give thanks.

Not every year has been like this,

And this one has had its own challenges.

Still, in the midst of the music,

I pause and reflect on many blessings.

The power and desire to hurt exists –

The power to rejoice and love is higher.

This Christmas there is nothing missing.

There is provision, love, humor and hope.

None of these are purchased.

They are gifted by the Great I AM.

Our Yahweh.

Our Father.

Our Savior.

Our Redeemer.

Our Champion.

He is Christmas!

He is the breath we breathe.

Glory to Him forever.

*Note: I realize at this time of year those struggling with loss can make this time even more painful. For you, I pray that the real Christmas story (not a “tale”, rather truth) will see you through these days. May He be your Lightouse when the world feels awfully dark. ♥
