In The Midst

While all around there is so much,

of things and chores to do,

Inside there is a part of me

that always gets its due.

I took my weary self to bed

and as is oft the case,

before my eyes were closed in sleep

prayers whispered of His grace.

This night the prayers were seeking

something that was lost.

They searched for the closeness

that busyness had cost.

For as this season runs it's course

it is so simple to forget

that though there is so much to do

Christ is the reason yet!

It is not easy to take time

to dwell upon His birth.

So many things, and people,

calling out their worth.

But when He gently whispers,

"My child, I'm missing you."

The response from deep within

the heart "Oh, I miss you too!"

And reconnecting as I pray

such peace and comfort found.

Praise God for being such a friend

with whom my heart is bound.
