String Lights

How many lights will you string welcoming the arrival of a newborn king? Is one enough with multicolored hues of green and red, yellow, white and blue? If the glow is dull and dim will you still be happy at the birth of him? How many seasons have come and gone and you bought presents, gifts and let it all be done? What was the point, the meaning of the purpose or was it just celebrations on the surface, did you forget the lessons of old the wonder and magic of the Christmas stories told? Take a moment then, as you string the lights again to remember and recall the truth of the seasonal call to bless, to pray, to be grateful for this day when Christmas love and hope come to stay, then decorate the tree, set the star up on top string the lights with joy and hope that never stops and thank God for this momentary pause and restart when the baby graced your very soul and heart. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.
