Emmanuel - God With Us

I have been absent from this blog for too long. Along with a promise to be more diligent in the new year, I want to reprise a bit of verse from last year—mostly because what was important last Christmas remains important this Christmas.

Emanuel – God with us
With the children who are anticipating their first Christmas
And the families who will share their joy

And the families who will be apart

And those which are torn apart.

With those who are with friends

And those who are alone

And those who are alone, even with friends

With the parents who are too busy to see the wonder

And the parents who care for children

And the parents who fail to care for children

And the parents who care for parents.

With those whose joys are memories, and whose futures are uncertain

And those who love them and watch them decline

And with those who grieve over their losses

And – especially – with those who do not know that God is with them…


Blessed Christmas to us all
