The Work of Christmas Begins
The Work of Christmas Begins
When the carols have been stilled,When the star-topped tree is taken down,When family and friends are gone home,When we are back to our schedulesThe work of Christmas begins: To welcome the refugee, To heal a broken planet, To feed the hungry, To build bridges of trust, not walls of fear, To share our gifts, To seek justice and peace for all people, To bring Christ�s light to the world.- by Michael Dougherty, a variation on Howard Thurman�s �When the Song of the Angels is Stilled�
Amen.
