TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS DE-STRESS (12)


ON THE TWELFTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS
Our true stress seems to be . . .
Wondering about tomorrow.

Gee whiz! It’s Christmas Eve!
This time tomorrow
Christmas Day will be here.

What will tomorrow be like?
Will it be worth all the hustle and bustle,
and time and expense
we’ve sacrificed over the past few months?

After the wrappings have been stripped from the gifts,
and strewn madly in the middle of the floor,
will the magic of Christmas still linger on?

After the turkey and the trimmings,
the vegetables and salads and desserts are all gone,
will the twinkle still sparkle in our eyes?

IF
we arrange our lives
to allow Jesus the Christ-child to enter in,
we can have Christmas in our homes and our hearts,
all through the year.


Peace I leave with you . . .
