Reflections of December’s Storm - 12/23/2023

 

Merry Christmas to all my family & Friends both near & far.  

Whom can or have  you seen the reflection of Christ in this year?   Who have you been or will be the hands & feet of Christ for?  After all,  this is His sacred season.  He came to offer us all a new hope, which we are to pass on.

Reflections of December’s Storm 2023

The storm came
Every thing went black;
Would the power
Ever come back? 
It seemed to be,
A good time to reflect;
And count our blessings,
That we sometimes forget…

‘Twas a few days before Christmas,
And all through the town,
Some lights were twinkling,
And some were not found.

Then the trucks all arrived,
To put Hope in the air;
That there would be power,
For Christmas  this year.

May we pray for the linesman,
Who showed up each day;
For God’s mighty protection,
In every way.

Many have “God stories”
Of what has been done;
You could see kindness,
Though others Christ-like love.

Please never forget,
Why we’re all here;
Happy birthday, Jesus,
The purest gift , each year.

Christmas 2023

Though this year has been an unexpected journey, I certainly have seen the reflection of Christ everywhere.  He didn’t tell us it would be easy.  He said that He would always be with us.  Through so many of you, I have experienced Christ-like love. Thank you to each of you who have been there and I have been given the gift to experience your Christ-like love & support.  My prayer has been that God would bless you each, just as you have blessed me. My heart’s desire it  also ask God to have the privilege to pass it on.   One simple act of kindness at a time, is exactly how His Christ’s love has been  passed down from generation to generation.  Thank you for being part of that story.  May God continue to bless you each in just the ways you need, as only He can do.
