The Work of Christmas Begins

As you bask in the goodness (and/or sadness) of Christmas yesterday, take a few moments to join with one of the saints of old to reflect on the real work of Christmas.

When the Song of the Angels is Stilled
By Howard Thurman

When the song of the angels is stilled,

when the star in the sky is gone,

when the kings and princes are home,

when the shepherds are back with their flocks,

the work of Christmas begins:

to find the lost,

to heal the broken,

to feed the hungry,

to release the prisoner,

to rebuild the nations,

to bring peace among the people,

to make music in the heart.
