What do I want for Christmas?
I want to kneel in Bethlehem,
the air thick with alleluias,
the angels singing
that God is born among us.
In the light of the Star,
I want to see them come,
the wise ones and the humble.
I want to see them come
bearing whatever they treasure
to lay at the feet
of him who gives his life.
What do I want for Christmas?
To see in that stable
the whole world kneeling in thanks
for a promise kept:
new life.
For in his nativity
we find ours.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE
PEACE,

Merry Christmas to you, Cindy! We have 6 inches of the white stuff, the first time we have had a white Christmas since 1969! I would also like to join you in these wonderful thoughts!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Cindy. Thanks for stopping by our blog about the Airedale Violet. Your puppy is adorable...as are your children.
ReplyDeleteYears ago my sister in law's family started bee keeping. I thought they were nuts (you know young minds don't think big). so I'm excited to meet you along in your travels.
Julie
hold on....not your kids...I had to read more of your blog.
ReplyDeleteMore importantly hahaha what is the name of the hound? I'd like to throw in Nick...for St. Nicolas
Merry Christmas!
Julie ----- again...;)
Hi Julie,
ReplyDeleteI like Nick and Nicolas, but my husband doesn't so much. Now he likes Ralphie...as in The Christmas Story. This poor dog. For not having a name he is adjusting well. The kids call him Baxter. I think he looks more like a Winston. He comes to just about anything!
Does your Sister in law still keep bees? I think, years ago, it used to be a "weird" thing to do. It's more common now.
As for the kid comment...no problem. It happens all the time.
Cindy
What a beautiful poem. Hope your Christmas was wonderful and wishing you all a happy, healthy, prosperous New Year!
