Today, I offer you a prayerful poem. Words offered up like breath to Our God from the heart…as we wait, anticipating the joy to come – the hope that is Christmas, and the One who makes all things new, the Eternal Hope Bringer- the Child, that changes everything. Even our hearts. Unto eternity. Amen.
I pray these words bless you today. May they be your own prayer and praise to the One who IS Christmas.

When is enough, enough?
When your life is stock full of stuff?
When your heart cries, “More!”
and you run to the store
seeking what lies behind the door.
When is enough, enough?
When ends meet or are stretched or defined?
Knowing ourselves means facing the truth
and seeking His face and mind.
When is enough, enough?
If less is best will we pass the test
waiting in quiet trust?
We are not defined by the days and times
but by that which we believe-
Contentment comes when we become One
with our faith, not deceived.
Enough is enough as we give thanks,
and by the world remain unfazed.

“One hundred years from now, who is to say our attitudes in the present day won’t be taken to task?”
Michele Bogart
You See
You see,
saying, “I see clearly.”
You see,
passing judgement in time.
You see,
so you say, the sins of others
from long ago days-
You see,
and in so saying,
are blind.
