Celebrate Advent


Christmas approaches
With the burden of our traditions.
The city is covered in glitter and lights.
We search for gifts amid the crowds.
Shouldn't we read the prophet's words?
Shouldn't we search for the Bethlehem babe?
Shouldn't we listen for the angel's message?
"Peace on Earth."
Let us remember
That a child born two thousand years ago
Changed the world.
His message is simple and unadorned.
Love God
And Love your neighbor as yourself.
Listen for His words.
"I am come."
