Christmas Blessing

Dearly Beloved,

Grace and Peace to you.


In your deepest darkness
may the eyes of God
twinkle like stars.

May the sounds of the world
become song,
become angelic.

May you always hear,
like voices in the next room,
glory.

May God come,
whole,
into your life.

May you receive
the most holy gift
of wonder.

May God give you the courage
of the young mother
in the darkness.

May you hear the song
of the presence of God
within you.

May your ordinary life
be a sign of God's nearness
to the lowly.

May all the refugee families
in your world
find shelter.

May you always ponder
the mystery of your dear,
umbilical life.

May the cries
of the Christ child
keep you awake.




Deep Blessings,
Pastor Steve
