The heart That Ponders #24 . . . tiny baby . . .12/24/08

 
Dear Holy Friends,
    There's something about this night. I can't quite explain it, but it's there. The air is more clean, the sound more sharp, and the silence more precious. We sing the song Silent Night and it causes me to pause. I guess for some the night still is silent. Silent in the soul, I mean. Christmas without Christ is hollow and silent. But for Mary and Joseph and some shepherds in a field, that night was anything but silent. It is my prayer that our Savior comes into our hearts this night with love and peace and angels singing. I hope he removes the silence from our souls.
 
In His Grip, Chandra
 
Tiny Baby
 
poor family
little town
tiny baby
no one around
no fanfare
only peace
God on earth
condemnation cease
why this way
King comes around
God of creation
love came down
Prince of peace
for all of us
ours is to believe
accept and trust
