Second Thoughts ~ Carrying Christmas in my Heart ~ Second Sunday of Advent

Happy Christmas Dear Reader,

The second thought for today is to ponder the faith that it takes to even celebrate Christmas.   I am not talking about belief in the traditions and lore.  I am thinking of the faith it takes to believe that the God of all Creation would become like us just to redeem us.

I mentioned that this is also our hope last Sunday.  The second Advent Candle calls for us to have faith.  It asks us to believe that our Christmas dream of all things being good can become a reality.  We have faith for the purpose of getting us past the things we find difficult to endure.  Faith is fuel.

Faith will nourish the dreams of which we spoke this morning.  It will guide us through the long dark of winter.  It is the thing that allows us to live and move.  So, Dear Reader, light that candle of faith and let it light way to Christmas and beyond.

So, tell me Christmas

Are we wise,

To believe in things we never see

Are prayers just wishes in disguise

And are these wishes being granted me

For now I see

The answering

To every prayer I've prayed

She's coming home this Christmas Day

So, tell me Christmas

Are we kind,

More this day than any other day

Or is it only in our mind

And must it leave when you have gone away

It's different now

It's changed somehow

And now you're here to stay

She's coming home this Christmas Day

And all at once the world

It doesn't seem the same

And in a single night

You know it all has changed

And everything is now as it should be

I have the ornament

I have the perfect tree

I have a string of lights

I have a chance to see

Everything that my heart thought could be

For of all the dreams

You were the first I knew

And every other one

Was a charade of You

You stayed close when I was far away

In the darkest night

You always were the star

That always took us in

No matter who we are

And so she's coming home this

Christmas Day

Wishing you joy in the journey,
