. . . and all through the house,
toys and trinkets are scattered;
there's no room on the couch.
The stockings are empty
and sag on the floor;
piles of trash are stacked
by the back door.
The parents are tired,
and the kids winding down
but still are quite restless
to get out on the town.
"One more trip to the store,
or to see a movie please."
Even all the stuff they got
doesn't fully apease.
Happy? Oh, yes, but still
hearts long for more . . .
of what? More connection
with the One we adore.
As our hearts turn again
to work, school and play,
may we all remember
the meaning of Christmas Day,
when God came among us
mighty, though small,
just for the purpose
of saving us all.
Continued blessings to you on this second day of Christmas,
Janet+
