I said, “Be Blessed this Christmas season”
But, dear God, I hurt
I am weary
I am overwhelmed
People are suffering
Devastation by hatred reigns
Angry words are said
Natural disasters, deceits and lies abound
Be blessed, I say
How can that be?
How can we heal the world?
Where is kindness and love when needed?
How do we find faith, hope and love?
God of all around the world
Teach us to be humble, to love each other.
Wrap kindness around each word.
Visualize a world that is healing.
For blessed are the peacemakers.
Be blessed!
The first candle was lite for welcoming in the light of solstice.
Be blessed!!!
The second picture has been posted before, but I really feel like we need to light candles and pray for peace each and every day.
The poem was written in response to my Christmas card this year. For some reason I said Be blessed. I am not sure why I said it and as I thought of those words, the words I sent out to friends, the poem came to me.
Be blessed throughout the season of Christmas and into the New Year.
Sending love,
Marilyn
