Advent is a beautiful season. A time for reflecting on the God wild and crazy enough to send his own son down to earth he had created and we had destroyed in order to fulfill the crazy love story planned out before the beginning of time itself.
Pretty sure that’s a run-on sentence but whatever.
One of my favorite ways for reflecting is poetry. So this year I’ve set myself a challenge- to write a poem for every day of advent… or at least the next 25 days leading up to Christmas.
I hope that y’all will join me in this journey through the Christmas season, as we celebrate the delivery of a baby who would one day deliver the world.
Today’s poem is called (duh, duh, DUH!) Into the World.
Look around the world next to me
Wonder why God would sent a baby
Into this world.
So much hurt, so much pain-
Loss and violence, darkness and rain
In this world.
Why would God come into
this world we cannot break through
into this world?
Perhaps, perhaps I see.
Could it be?
Into this world-
He came to show
We must reach out of our own cold
Into this world.
The babe came to show us
That wealth does not define love-
Is that why he came into this world?
Thoughts From a Tree 
This was really nice 🙂 And this is coming from me, the girl who would rather pull out her own teeth than do poetry.
