| HoldingThe Day is here
and we made it to Bethlehem! The time has come for kneeling and we’ve seen the Child! There is singing in the stable and we want desperately to hold on to it… hold on to the Star! and the angels! and the spirit of love! How do we hold on to the Christmas spirit? Why can’t every day be Christmas? The world mutters “Be realistic,” and sometimes we church people mutter too. On our way back from Bethlehem sometimes we forget what we’ve been warned about in a dream: to return another way. Once we’ve seen the Child, we’re left holding hearts wherein angels dance and stars sing! Once we’ve been to Bethlehem, every day is Christmas! Taken from the book “Kneeling in Bethlehem” by Ann Weems |
