3rd week in Advent -- Tuesday Luke 2:16
The
Manger
Scenes from the Manger --
crude wood
splinters
left-over straw
cobwebs
cold and barren.
Manger --
scene of cow=s lunch,
donkey=s brunch.
Yet this Bethlehem Manger --
this quiet place off of
the bustling streets --
Became, of all things, a cradle:
a cradle for life itself,
the cradle for Life Himself.
Wonder of wonders;
Immanuel, in a manger.
God with us, here and now.
O Lord:
There are lots of quiet,
out-of-the-way places in our world and in our lives. Help us to look for signs of your love and
presence in the unusual corners of our days, for we will surely find you there;
in Christ=s
name we pray. Amen.
