December snows... Bring?

It's been awhile. The first semester in seminary and I slack at the oddest moments. It is has been a satisfying and slightly harrowing experience. If you can read this, you have access to a computer and knowledge of the internet. I pray you know just how blessed you are. There are those who suffer hunger daily and others who long for sunlight. Today there are slaves who long for the sun rise on them as free people. There are those who are alone and weep because of it. If any of these pains are not yours. I thank God with you. I have an awesome family. Access to a computer and health-care. I have friends who care, a school to go to and a job to work. I know Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior. I have means to fully live, and reason to peacefully die. None of this I have earned through effort. Therefore, they are all gifts. I am thankful.

December snows

Bring roots that grow.

We become grateful

For where we haven't been

and Thankful for

Life that we haven't seen

We grow deeper

This year by this year

We see the heavens clearer

Stars watch our story, with us

They wonder at our glory.
