We live much of life amid unique choices. Joy is anchored in The One beyond our life. |
The fabric of our lives seems stretched. Elastically, we're thin. The worry on our faces etched. The heart is made of tin. The Christmas season now is past. We wonder what to do, awaiting Judgment, Sin has cast when this short life is through. "A Christmas Moment" means great peace at least for me I'd say. These quiet minutes bring release at ending of the day. To hear this nothing, then the cars, while sitting in the cold is gentle 'fore we see the stars as last light beams are told. But when the Dark forever falls on those, who have no hope, they no more hear the Master's Calls. Thus past, can't help them cope. The Christmas Moments presently known are here when Life is giv'n. Embraced the Gift, that once was sown can evermore be livin'. The Master calls the ones He chose, who now can come received. The children of that Christ are those, who no more need be grieved. Once peace with God is throughly weaved the peace of God we know, These Christmas Moments simmer, steeped, while times of JOY can grow. We sense these Christmas Moments oft throughout each coming year to lift our hearts to the highest loft, protecting us from fear. A Christmas Moment needs one thing, and that is focused time, alone with He, Who makes hearts sing, Whose Presence is Sublime. by Jay O’Toole on December 29th, 2025 ![]() ![]() |
