Because We Find Ourselves In Need...


 Here we are!
Two sleeps away from Christmas Day!


Here we are; where the raised bar that lowered day by day
Has handed out and gathered in whilst winnowing away
Where we had stood a year before and marveled at the pace
Of highs and lows that ope and close the rose of granted grace
That unfolds in its petals the mettle of mortal woe
As happiness of holding close turns into letting go
Where here we are, a little kind and wiser than before
Because we find ourselves in need of God a little more
Because we start to glimpse the brevity of numbered days
Swept up like dust beneath a broom of subtle, seasoned ways
And we begin to recognize in all we cannot see
The sacred beauty in the prize of Opportunity
Where here we are; the bar dusk lowered melts in pink and gold
To offer from Past’s molded cast Time’s newness to our hold
Where wishes that were granted are implanted with request
As gratitude and worship learn to trust God for His best

Wishing you true joy as we dwell on the Reason for the Season!


 
2 Corinthians 9:8
And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things, at all times, 
having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.
Philippians 4:7
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, 
will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
