Streams of Comfort

It’s almost Christmas. A holiday that is so much more than the surface narratives painted in movies. It is the day we celebrate our Savior coming down to us. To be like us and with us. One small part of His unfathomable plan. Let us remember that this Christmas week. That Jesus came and love and light will always win.

I’m happy that the cold surrounds but doesn’t break my warm resolve.
That your laughter and my heart are intimate friends.
I’m happy that loneliness is near but doesn’t invade my warm connections.
That peace is a well that won’t ever run dry.
I’m happy that one small child lit up the night but that doesn’t just change me.
That one loving sacrifice changed everything and saved me.
I’m happy that this day is unlike any other but only because I get to live this once.
That every moment is special in spite of pain and grace wins the dawn of the next.
It’s Christmas and I’m happy.
