There is no room, was often said.
The couple searched for some soft bed.
Where their long awaited baby’s cry,
Would pierce the silence of the sky.
But the sky rang loud with angels white,
Who announced the birth in dark of night.
To a sleeping town with sleeping hearts,
Unaware of what God would start.

Are you done your shopping?
Did you send your cards?
Did you wrap the presents?
Finding boxes was hard.
Did you hang your stockings?
Did you trim the tree?
Did you bake some cookies?
Are there any for me?

The thoughts are still necessary to ponder.
Us:
We have our own agenda, Lord.
It’s very plain to see.
You can change it anytime.
You can do it instantly.
We think that our to-do list,
Is the most important thing.
You possess the veto power,
For You are Lord and King.

It was needed then. It is needed now.
I am learning to show grace,
Every day a little more,
Each and every situation,
Never knowing what’s in store.
The days I learn to hold my tongue,
And keep my eyes from rolling.
The days I go the extra mile,
Keep away from all controlling.

I ran out of Christmas cards.
I ordered far too few.
I thought I could just order more.
Seemed right for me to do.
I put items in my shopping cart.
Much less than the time before.
Until I saw the total cost.
The amount was so much more.

Every little child asks,
The famous question, Why?
We come to You, O Father,
With our groaning and our sighs.
There is so much unanswered,
So much to understand,
No clarity in Your higher ways,
Not sure of all You planned.

It needed to be published again, but in the first person this time.
Sometimes I feel so weary,
And I really don’t know why?
I can’t put my finger on it.
I wouldn’t even try.
I can’t explain the emptiness,
That’s way down in my soul.
Can’t understand the outlook,
I feel buried in a hole.

This Whisper was originally published on December 22, 2012.
For the rest of this week, the Whispers will be taken from the archives.
The truth of the messages are still the same and need to be revisited.
Are you done all your shopping?
Did you send out your cards?
Did you wrap all the presents?
Finding boxes was hard.
Did you hang up your stockings?
Did you trim the large tree?
Did you bake favorite cookies?
Are there any for me?

Do you ever just feel weary,
And you really don’t know why?
Can’t put your finger on it.
Wouldn’t even try.
Can’t explain the emptiness,
That’s way down in your soul.
Can’t understand the outlook,
You feel buried in a hole.

I’m on the verge of walking.
I am only one.
I get around by crawling,
But now it’s not much fun.
Now the weather’s warmer.
Shorts are what I wear.
Crawling on all the hard, cold floors,
Hurts my knees so bare.
