The Christmas Spirit

A teenage homemaker and older priest inspired the following block of words:

My deepest thoughts uplift Your name

My inner heart breathes the life of my Savior

For You remembered me!

You thought to rectify my pitiful state.

And now I am called a part of Your Kingdom

now I am a part of the nations under Abraham.

By a power only held by the Sovereign

By a perfection only known by the Lord of All.

And here Your kingdom remains a terrestrial mystery

This kingdom raises the loser

This kingdom honors the failures

This kingdom empowers the weakened

The power to the slave, the mercy to the unlovely,

The wisdom to the feebleminded, the glory to the lowly.

Praise be to God, for His kingdom, His righteous One, is upon us.
