Motherhood at Christmas

Motherhood at Christmas

Events to run, asking anyone

For help, desperate pleas

Oh goodness, lost my keys!

Frustration high, memory’s low

Where did I put that dusty halo?

Shouting, crying, chaos, mess

A moment of clarity; lamenting the ‘Yes’

Present buying, kids whining,

Tempers frayed as Santa takes centre stage

Planning, execution, problems, …grace

Where is Jesus in this space?

Oh yeah that’s right, He’s in the light

His love in us, absorbs the blows

Defensive walls fall,

Dominoes

Words of truth, acts of love

His heart known to those damaged of

Cancer rampant, soul scars, fiery darts

Scripture a salve for the bleeding heart

Healing the hurt, gives a new start

Flowers bloom, hope is born

Jesus blesses all that mourn

Planting gardens in the waste

A foretaste…

of Heaven, Can’t Wait!
