Christmas Day dawns with anticipation.
What waits under the tree?
There will be turkey and ham,
Sweet potatoes, corn on the cob,
Green beans and steaming rolls,
And desserts galore.
Family and friends gather
To enjoy the food,
And the company.
Amid the festivities
We shall light the Advent wreath.
And the Christ Candle
To commemorate the true meaning of Christmas.
Over two thousand years ago,
God chose to put as much of himself as he could
Into human form.
To experience his creation from within.
To experience all that it means to be human.
To experience death.
Death.
Only that God could not know,
As Christ he could.
He understands the bitter grief
Of separation caused by death.
The Comforter holds our hand
Through life and death
With the knowledge gained by Jesus.
Thank you,
God,
For stooping so low.
Thank you for the promise
That after death
There is so much more.
