When the Song of the Angels is Stilled

Whew! I hope everyone arrived on this side of the New Year unscathed and renewed!

I found this little poem touching ... and a sweet challenge!


When the Song of the Angels Is Stilled
Poem by Howard Thurman


When the song of the angels is stilled,
When the star in the sky is gone,
When the kings and the princes are home,
When the shepherds are back with their flocks,
The work of Christmas begins:
To find the lost,
To heal the broken,
To feed the hungry,
To release the prisoner,
To rebuild the nations,
To bring peace among brothers,
To make music in the heart.



...Let there be no moment without Christmas!

    Loved that line..."to release the prisoners"...Amen...We are all prisoners of some sort...Thanks be to Jesus for the freedom He gives! God bless you and may all of His richest blessings unfold each day as this new year started.
