Are there certain angels
just really good at math?
Figuring out the
sowing and reaping
equations for every
single person alive?
Or calculating
resources versus
generosity?
Or how much faith
it takes, to say,
throw a mountain
into the sea,
or for that matter
be marked
with the Holy Spirit?
Does all of heaven
just know these things
while most of us are just
scratching the surface
or scratching our heads?

Prepare the way
prepare the home
prepare the table
prepare my heart
Fix those potholes
line the streets with
flowers and lights
Clean every corner
dust and sweep
gather and hunt
Fill the house with
color and fragrance
flowers and fruit
to center the table
Now the hardest part –
my heart
Dark and dusty places
replaced with light and
fragrance from hidden
fruits sown and grown
the greatest is love
centering all
In that clear night sky
long ago
the angels could not contain
the joy
and sang of peace
the world is yet longing for
Where will this peace be found
if not first in our hearts
cluttered with care and
discord
Prepare ye the way

He’s a puzzle, a mystery, a riddle
This person I know so well yet not at all
I only see a part not the whole
I can’t get inside his head, his heart
his skin for that matter
I don’t know why he does this or that
Says it that way instead of this way
I admit I am perplexed and mystified
I wonder at times if his mind is overloaded
Some what imbalanced
Yet, he is the one the angel
called me to bear
The one we have been waiting for
I know
I said yes, and I did what I was asked
I was not ashamed
I knew where he came from
But what kind of deliverer will he be?
How is he going to save us from our enemies?
He is so gentle and kind
This babe I once wrapped in rags
Where were the angels when I writhed in pain?
I heard later they were off singing to some shepherds
who came in awe to see him
I will continue my daily watch
Pack up and move with him
He is so weary and spent
He may need me again
Before this day is through
