I first posted this photo 14 years ago. The little boy in my
sister's window is my great-nephew who, next spring,
will graduate from high school!
It's almost Christmas, Lord,
and children everywhere are filled with excitement
as visions of sugar plums dance in their heads...
It's been a long, long while, Lord,
since I've dreamed of dancing sugar plums
and a long time, too, since childlike faith
has sparked my heartfelt yearning
that gifts beyond my dreaming
are coming - my way -
from the One who loves me alway
with love beyond all telling...
Soon, Lord, I'll celebrate
your coming among us,
your living within us,
your bringing the gifts of my heart's desire:
your healing, blessing and peace...
Spark my longing for all of your gifts,
ignite my yearning and deepen my trust
that you're drawing near, to dwell in my heart,
with mercy beyond my hopes and dreams
and with love beyond all telling, O Lord,
with love beyond all telling...
Amen.
