After Glow

After Glow The pumpkin pie is steaming in the oven, just exactly right for the evening dessert. A sweet remembrance of all things... that have happened since the first hello, the first hug, the first call, and laugh. Until the last goodbye, the last hug, the last christen and the last tear... have been spoken aloud or fallen in earnest. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Merry Christmas to the world, the Lord hath come... Everyone is welcome! It is a time of thanksgiving; of hope and joy and song. It is a time of grateful; humble thoughts, and open prayers. Forgive those that trespass, as we are forgiven. A price paid, a ransom compensated... for sin too expensive to ever be cleared of debt, sacrificed for... and given to all by a King, for souls lost, and burned from the dark fires; that never cease, the agony of all humankind. Mistakes made from the beginning, my woman and man, we humbly bow and pray. Savior, of the world. Your birth, the first star, the first light, in all the world... forever bright!
