A sign of the end times,
of our loss of vision;
looking to ourselves
not to the kingdom
We are thankful on
Thanksgiving
then we immediately forget
our joy;
running to the mall
to beat the next guy
We are joyful for
Christmas
for the coming of Christ;
but we bury the Savior
under glitter and lights
Junk filled the vacuum
when we ceased to believe;
we are now out shopping
when we should be on our
knees
We are lost in the season
wrapped in consumption;
forgetting what is
important
the things that matter
Christ at the center
the babe in the manger,
Love came down at
Christmas
to save us completely
