Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I hope you had a great Christmas if you celebrate.
If Christmas makes you sad, I hope you found something
in the day to be a blessing.
When I woke up this morning, my first thought was that
the work of Christmas was done...and a sense of relief.
This year the preparations seemed to be more hectic and exhausting!
This piece popped into my mind and I thought I'd share it again
with you.
The Work of Christmas
When the song of the Angel is stilled,
When the Star in the sky is gone,
When the Kings and princes are home,
When the Shepherds are back with their flock,
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 brothers and sisters
-
To make music in the Heart.
By Howard Thurman
I pray that we will work to bring peace to our brothers and sisters
and hear the music in our hearts in order to celebrate the gift of Christ Jesus.
Enjoy!
