December 2013 “FROM WONDER TO WONDERFUL”
SCRIPTURE: The angel said, Don’t be afraid. I’m here to announce a great and joyful event
that is meant for everybody, worldwide.(LUKE 2:10)
The story began in wonder…
Who was it who delivered the message
To an unsuspecting young woman?
Yes, you recall, it was a being of wonder –
An Angel
The words were a mixture
Prompting a wonder of surprise
And a wonder akin to
How can this be?
And to me?
The other wonder is the acceptance
Of the life changing message
By the unlikely but perfectly suited one,
So humble, so willing
To be blessed.
It simply never happened before
In all of history
And yet, the wonder is
It changed all things –
His story.
Born in wonder
Growing in amazing ways
To reveal how a life
Could have such a connection
To wonder.
Not only their story
But ours?
Once again, we being different
And the same
Say, how can this be?
The wonder of it all
Is our life made different
By One Who also listened
Beyond explanation
To wonder.
Showing the way
Each person can be given
The long ago message,
Each allowed to live
With wonder.
PRAYER: Dear Messenger, help me to listen and live in wonder.
AMEN.
