Tonight we light the Faith Candle 🕯️
By faith Mary believed
By faith Joseph changed his mind
By faith they pressed on toward Bethlehem
God’s words echoing in their hearts ✨

Behind the Poem: O Come Let Us Adore Him
Behind the Poem: This Poem O Come Let Us Adore Him just headed off to the printer.
We have made Christmas about many things. Trees, decorations, gifts, food, music, feelings, games, fun.
When we peel back all the things we find our One True Gift.

Behind the Poem:. The Breath of Life
Behind the Poem: The Breath of Life
If you have been in the room when a baby was born, you’ve experienced it. Their first breath. What a miracle moment!
Can you imagine being present as all creation caught its first breath, the breath of God.
This is where I wanted to go with this poem, the miracle of creation, the miracle of life.
Can you hear it? The breathing in, the breathing out of all things. 🦢
Behind the poem:. Emmanuel
Behind the Poem: I don’t think there is anything better than Emmanuel – God With Us.
He brings hope, He brings love, He brings joy and He brings peace.
In this piece I wanted us to see the Light piercing the darkness, the gift of Jesus for all who will hold out their hand, their heart and receive him.
Behind the Poem:. The Mender
Behind the Poem: The Mender
Life can leave us battered, bruised and at times we feel like our life has become a pile of ashes. We can limp our way to The Mender, it is in His Presence where He wipes our tears, binds up our wounds and makes beauty from our ashes. #TheMender # BeautyforAshes
Behind the Poem: Remain
Behind the Poem: Remain
It’s mid-November and I can still see a few leaves clinging to trees, while others have long blown away.
That is what I picture with this poem. The days can become dry, the wind will blow in our lives and storms will come.
All the Lord requires from us is to do what those little leaves are doing. Remain, cling, hang on to Him. It is in that place where we root deep and find our strength. 🌿

Behind the Poem: The Table
Behind the Poem: The Table
I must say, this in one of my favorites.
It is my remembering place.
The place where I remember Jesus, His body broken, that we may be healed. His innocent blood shed, that we may be forgiven, and set free from our sin that ensnares us.
There is no greater gift, than the One we meet at the Communion Table. ✝️
Behind the Poem:. He is Near
Behind the Poem He is Near: Some days we can feel the Lord close, other days He feels far, far away.
Oh… how our emotions are fickle.
The truth is – He is Near, rather we ‘feel’ Him or not.
Can we trust that He goes before us, walks behind us and hems us in like a mother bird, hems in her chicks.
He chooses to be near, do we choose to be near to Him? #Psalm139
