Every time I walk in the beauty of creation, I feel that I walk in His Presence and it truly is a gift! I want to experience this beautiful gift of Christmas every single day of my life! My all time favorite poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning expresses well the feelings of my heart:
The little cares that fretted me,
I lost them yesterday,
Among the fields above the sea,
Among the winds at play;
Among the lowing of the herds,
The rustling of the trees;
Among the singing of the birds,
The humming of the bees.
The foolish fears of what might happen,
I cast them all away
Among the clover-scented grass,
Among the new-mown hay;
Among the husking of the corn,
Where drowsy poppies nod,
Each day is truly a Gift when we walk with God. The beauty of Christmas is not in receiving presents, but in receiving His presence, and choosing to walk in his presence every single day. His love for us, and the life he lived and gave for all of us is the most precious gift we can receive!
"Christmas is what we make of it. We can see to it that Christ is at the center of our celebration," We can Keep Christmas in our hearts (in our center) every single day of the year by choosing to walk in His presence. Each day then will truly be a gift!
Among the lowing of the herds,
The rustling of the trees;
Among the singing of the birds,
The humming of the bees.
The foolish fears of what might happen,
I cast them all away
Among the clover-scented grass,
Among the new-mown hay;
Among the husking of the corn,
Where drowsy poppies nod,
Where ill thoughts die and good are born -
Out in the fields with God.
Each day is truly a Gift when we walk with God. The beauty of Christmas is not in receiving presents, but in receiving His presence, and choosing to walk in his presence every single day. His love for us, and the life he lived and gave for all of us is the most precious gift we can receive!
"Christmas is what we make of it. We can see to it that Christ is at the center of our celebration," We can Keep Christmas in our hearts (in our center) every single day of the year by choosing to walk in His presence. Each day then will truly be a gift!
