A crystalline blanket of white falling on a world of chaos, confusion, and fear,
The forecast calling for a dusting to one inch, but so far three inches are near.
A White Christmas, while unexpected, creates an excitement not felt in over a year.
A message from God, or just a coincidence? I wonder.
As I peer out my window at the fresh covering of an otherwise muddy and ugly terrain,
I feel a sense of hope and peace that have replaced my depression and anxiety as to
What the world and future hold for me, my family, and my country.
So much is wrong in the world, but this quiet, serene scene indicates that better days are ahead.
That first Christmas, the world was also in chaos; the shepherds were the lowliest of the lowly,
Yet the angels appeared to them declaring Good News and Peace to all people through the birth of a Child.
The shepherds finally had a sense of excitement that they had not felt maybe in their lifetime.
They went to see if what they had been told was true; could it be the end of the chaos?
The angels appeared, a view from the heavens in dazzling white.
The shepherds watched in wonder on that first Christmas night.
Just like the shepherds, I sit here amazed at this vision, the silence, the quiet
Created by the snow on this Christmas Eve night.
A message from God, or just a coincidence? I wonder, yet I know.
