Living the Message Dec.22

Dec. 22
The Greeting (Christmas 1986)

The following six days are selected Christmas poems written for annual Christmas greetings.

Hail, O favored one,
the Lord is with you! (Luke 1:28)

My mail carrier, driving his stubby white
Truck, rimmed in blue and red, wingless
But wheeled, commissioned by the civil service
Daily delivers the Gospel every Advent.

This Gabriel, uniformed in gabardine,
Unsmiling descendant of his dazzling original,
Under the burden of greeting is stoical
But prompt: annunciations at ten each morning.

One or two or three a day at first;
By the second week momentum's up,
My mail box is stuffed, each card stamped

With the glory at a cost of only twenty-five cents
(Brining the news that God is here with us)
First class, personally hand addressed.

"Good morning!
You're beautiful with God's beauty,
Beautiful inside and out!
God be with you."

Luke 1:28

Cool, I like the message so much, it's so encouraged.
I don't wanna be a stupid girl! Keeping listening and learning.
Follow Him. Don't expect GPS, map or layout anymore!
