Christmas spirit-prayer!

 

Christmas!-Spirit! Prayer! (2023)

 

Love midnight-clear spirit prayer-precious sacred-lexicon:

 

Frosty! Rudolph! Santa! Lights! Tree! Manger! Star! Snow!

Comfort memories held tender-heart close! Nostalgia I know!

 

And, yonder---in a quiet desert town…a rustic stable manger miracle.

 

Gathered there by invitation of an angel shining-star to join the father,

mother, shepherd boy, critters various to worship-Praise the Innocent!

 

“For God so loved the world He sent His Son…John 3:16 Amen!

 

Came a soft Whisper-wind to visitors ears a singing Cherubim & Seraphim!

 

“Holy! Holy! Holy! Is the Lord of hosts…” Isaiah 6:3 Amen!

 

To an Innocent tender-child Grandma’s ceilings were heaven Awesome-tall

A magic evergreen adorned with lights and shine and ice to Christmas-call

 

Frosty laughed! Rudolph flew Santa Claus to his appointed Generous rounds

Lights bright! Ornaments shiny-pretty! Tree festive decorated! Passion bounds

Celebrate His birth eons ago  with Silent night! Holy night! Praise caroling-songs

 

“Let them praise His great and awesome name. Holy is He.” (Psalm 99:3)

 

Clearly delineated demarcation Worthy-Love or evil-sin chosen-committed

A simple-humble “Forgive me, Lord! I am a lowly sinner!” Freely-admitted

Confession! Redemption! Salvation! Through His Love-Grace Charity-acquitted

 

“Forgive as the Lord forgives thee.” (Collasians 3:13)

 

To a simple-humble mind album-lexicon to fathom shadow-memories:

 

North-wind howls a winter-sculpted ice-wave glisten-crest preserved

Comfort-soft white chill-fluff daguerreotype in stark black-and-white

Friend Frosty snowman happy-brave in a sun scape frozen golden-glow

Scads of ribbon! Mountains of colored pretty-paper! Present Love-gifts!

Family-gathered in “Good wishes!” Love1delight turkey trimmings feast

Sled-rides! Pond ice skating! Blazing bonfire marshmallow-hot dog roast

Midnight-star! Angel-call! Rustic stable-manger scene! Innocence-Glory!

 

“Behold, the lamb of God Who takes away the sins of the world!” (John 1:29)

 

Merry Christmas! Spirit-prayer! Love, Candy & Carl
