December 26th

"I treasure your word in my
heart," Psalm 119:11a

after tracking down 
the missing lamb the
cat had carried off and
hidden under the sofa,
we gently place the manger
figures on the soft cotton,
where they will stay, not
uttering a sound until next
year,
while you
cradle in your hands
that infant Word
the world considers to be
so out of touch with 
our lives,
trying every day to slip
it into our weary hearts,
where it will whisper of 
your grace
your love
your justice
your hope
in all the weary moments
to come.
