WHEN THE CELEBRATIONS CEASE
Posted: 27 Dec 2017 12:13 PM PST Inspired by the Story of Luke 1 & 2, this writing makes parallels with our world today… WHEN THE CELEBRATIONS CEASE
When the birth of a joyful season gives way to the next cold winter day When the courage to live your dreams and hopes are deflated by King-sized anguish and wonderings When the diligently searched for baby-perfect beauty is adored and worshipped, but then disappears When that certainty of the path winds to feels like one of exile When the burdens of life become the most significant events in the world When future hope and comfort are destroyed by trickery and fury When gifts of kindness, joy, and peace become lost in boxed thinking and wrapped in paperwork. When special care and wise words for the Mary and Josephs, the poor, the rejected, the homeless, the powerfully hungry fades to the voice of the power hungry When the joy and warmth eye-witnessed in embracing loved ones dulls to cold receptions When the prophetic past conceived in us is obscured by fear raising voice When the ordinary moments of a holiday shepherded by the star struck spectacular muddies to a dark, lonely journey home
We still need to allow the weeping and mourning to turn to dancing We still need to listen to the dreams that direct our lives We still need to find significance in the beginning of small things We still to be guided by the Spirit of angels in real-world clothes We still need to escape to find our purposed journeys We still need to serve the secret fight within against supremacy and status We still need to liberate the recorded Word We still need to proclaim the message of peace and goodwill towards men on earth We still need to seek saving graces We still need to rediscover this powerful narrative of His heavenly birth We still need the whispered cries of a Savior to sink deep in our souls |
“Thanks to my niece, Cherrie… having been so inspired… reading from the BIBLE… Luke 1 and 2 – – there are some real deep thought provoking questions – – that we do not think to address – – as we should at this time of the year – – we over look the real meaning … for this celebration – – and are left spiritually empty.” D.V. *********
