These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Wondrous Sun

Wondrous sun, a Christmas day
as we wait and think.
Blessings here to joy display
as we sip our drink.

Coffee in the coffee shop,
tea at the breakfast bar.
Buying Christmas 'til we drop
in sunshine or by star.

Christmas, nearly over now.
What to do beyond?
Maybe sit, and soak, and bow,
and to the Lord respond.

Christmas is not just one day,
that's o'er when Giftwrap piles.
Believers keep it on display.
This Babe with hope-filled smiles.

Christmas lives within the heart.
The Christ has found an home.
Salvation is His Plan's blest start.
We need not e'ermore roam.
