An Advent Thought

 
Touch
a small
branch of a
green Christmas
tree. Connect with the
life that tree has come to be.
Grown from a seed, nourished
with care. Standing tall and graceful,
filling the air. Symbolizing in our homes
another birth, transformed from God's seed
to a man on earth. Standing tall and graceful,
nourishing with care. Bring us new life and
love for all to share. Embrace if you will as Advent
begins, the coming of the Christ child in all who lives.
A new growth of love filling your heart, embracing and
enveloping those who hurt. Thus taking the seed from the
tree and the child and creating new growth
where once pain
did abound.
