[Knitting A Conundrum]

Lord,
amid all the hecticness
that fills our life this time of year,
help us stop
and think of that ultimate gift,
where,
in a town that had no welcome
you came to be with us.

Like Bethlehem, once,
where the crowd had no space
for a poor couple and their child,
the world seems to have no space
for the way that leads to peace, hope, love.

Yet like the angels and the shepherds
that night so long ago,
let us watch and be amazed
at a God who loves us enough
to be Emmanuel,
God with us.

Amen.

Please join me this day in prayer and meditation. Today, thinking about the season, and the reason for the joy, let us remember those who do not know our joy, who are hurting, who are in need.
