Though not a Christmas poem, merry Christmas all the same. May God keep you safe and fill your holiday with the love and happiness that cannot be found in stores and presents and parties, but only in quiet rest in Him.
The Life of Love
A man is not a husband,
a woman not a wife,
a house is not a home,
subsistence not a life.
A child is not youthful,
the pleasant is not good,
a simple word not truthful,
and bread alone not food.
This is the mortal token –
the empty and the full –
but what our sin has broken,
now love can render whole.
And so our lives are lifted
above a common mold,
when with His grace we’re gifted:
to love with fervor bold.
