The song goes on

Howard Thurman speaks to this idea of “ keeping the joy of Christmas” beyond the markings of the calendar. He writes:

When the song of the angels is still,
When the star in the sky is gone,
When the Kings and the princes are home,
When the shepherds are back with their sheep,
The work of Christmas begins:

To find the lost,
To heal the broken,
To release the prisoner,
To rebuild the nations,
To bring peace among the people,
To make music in the heart.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

Jeff, God bless you for sharing the most spiritually helpful thoughts, even when your body and mind must be drained, from such recent long days. Today's post reinforces the idea that every day of the year is Christmas.

Enjoy your family, and wishes for rest and renewal physically for you.
