The preparations for Christmas can really stress me out some times. Even prayer can be a challenge. I took Marge’s advice and made a list of my Christmas experiences. It was fun and very prayerful.

Christmas Past
Jeweled lights
fragile globes
bursting red leaves and rosy cheeks
Piles of wrapping and ribbon
Mounds of cookies and cocoa
A tiny scene
with a tiny family
and a tiny baby
Joy to the world!
Welcome
Christmas Present
Sniffles and
shopping lists
Must-attend events
Caution! Road Work Ahead
Not seven, but seventy-seven
Greetings and smiles
Emmanuel! God with us!
Shiny red buckets
and tinkling bells
Family expanding
Choirs in every language
Glimpse of heaven
Waiting
Christmas to Come
A bountiful banquet
with every name known
Hunger is filled and
broken hearts healed
Swords into plowshares
Justice for the poor
Lambs gathered
Bride and groom embrace
Abundant new life
Fullness of peace
Always
