Advent of the Promise: Day 6

For this Advent season, I will be creating and/or writing Christmas-inspired gifts for my friends until Christmas Day.

This one is to my friend, Josiah!

Celebrate the Coming

 
 
Snow falls and flutters down
To the awaiting ground, collecting
Nature sings the winter song
The melodies sing sweet for this Advent
On the first coming of the King; we look back gratefully
Then look forward to His return
Charity is for all times, but it is the season
To hold remembrance of that command
To give, love and die to self in a world that glorifies
Selling and buying, and getting what you want
“Good or naughty” determining a gift or a lump of coal
But what we need to do is prioritize our goals of life
To give what we can give; and love with all our might
For when the Word was made flesh,
His dream was set in motion; to give His life for us
That we’d be free and receive “God with Us”
So when you celebrate this season; celebrate the Child
Who came to shine the Light of Love and Grace
To a world in the dark; that we may be like
A candle in the rain to a world in need of healing
