Anxiety, perplexing pain is like drowning in the ocean,
The entirety is closing in, submerging us in slow motion.
Getting lost amongst the rubble and all the after hours,
Ever wonder how they came about all their dreadful powers?
Instead, let us ruminate on the Son of Man and so rejoice,
Giving thanks to Our God with every single grateful voice!

“And Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:41-42 NKJV

Yes! It’s very easy to fall into the self-induced trap of materialism, entertainment and commercialism. Jesus only wanted one thing from us, to follow Him, and He is ALL we need. May we all have a blessed, Christ-centered Christmas, needing ONLY the greatest gift of all!

I love that account from the Bible (probably because I constantly need the reminder.) This is a great poem as well. You have quite the way with words.

Sidharth, thank you my friend. You are so kind. I appreciate your words so much. I will check my comments under wordpress every day now. They are like little gems when someone responds with a like but a comment is like finding a fairy beside my pillow waiting to give me money or a kiss on the cheek. So thank you so much. Have a blessed evening. Love Joni

For sure, Jesus Christ is the Real Reason for this Holy Season. I hope that millions get distracted from the crazy, shopping scene and remember that Jesus is our Reason… above all, Jesus Christ, Savior of the world. Peace artfromperry
