Dear God,

Heaven's song is in the air.   Outdoor Christmas lights, holiday movies, special programs and books, musical concerts, winter air and seasons greeting cards all tell me so.  Each and every one point me to the One who came long ago and lingered.  The world knows Christmas is here.

The genius of faith is that we see the holy, the sacred, the divine in daily living.  We do not have to search for every day we see it all around us.  A sunrise, a baby's cry, an unexpected gift, a pearl of wisdom or an early morning birdsong all tell me you are present.

This season, my very favorite, gives me much opportunity to pause, reflect and give thanks. It is an inspiring time to dig deep into the soil of your mystery where we can deepen our faith, challenge our negative thoughts and find new spiritual treasure just waiting to be discovered.  If taken seriously and intentionally, I can truly arise in faith, resurrected on Easter morning.

All praise

to you,

Glorious Savior.

Thank you

for this

marvelous season

full of

pregnant possibility.

Thank you

for every gift

of this time
