Susan Lafferty“Christ the Lord is risen today! Alleluia!”
Our hope sings through warring-world brokenness. Where pain and fears are on the rise.
Destruction and devastating loss keep trying to write the story.
Evil roars. Seeking to hold captive peoples and nations.
Christmas. Worship Him.
In the loud or silent.
Amid crowds or all alone.
At the table overflowing or simply breaking bread.
Surrounded by decorations and gifts, wrapping and ribbons. Or without all the fanfare.
In your home or at the church or elsewhere.
Worship Him.
Stepping out into early morning air. First breath of dawn. Stillness.
Sky somewhere between dark and light.
Not even visible. Yet. But all creation anticipates the all-out glory of what’s coming.
Streetlights dim. Even the moon and stars fade. At the certain, steady rise of God’s sun.
Full light of day is coming.
