Christmas Devotional

“O come…”

“O come…” from traffic-lined streets, 

and checkout counter gridlock.

“O come…” from decorating, gift-wrapping, baking, and more.

Set aside to-do lists. 

Release expectations. 

Embrace expectation.

Come close. 

Draw near.

Untracked land

Untracked land. Most vivid on days marked by change. Upheaval. 

When planned schedules sit. Unattended. Calendars, set aside. 

And we enter unknown spaces. 

On such a day, I remember the quote. Handwritten on a scrap of paper years ago. Placed on my desk. 

Amy Carmichael’s words. 

Untracked land.
