The Child As Gift
Dear family and friends
“Let the little Child Come!
I, as a little child came to you, was within you
Living and loving from your mother’s womb.”
This is not hard for us to believe if
We trust that our God is creator, lover, guide.
In all creation and in the stages of our lives
There is a model and mirror of our God and
We join Jesus who says,
“Let the child come to me.”
Those who dream let them come.
Let the strong and healthy, the sick and wounded,
The elders and their care givers,
Let them all come-
Running, dancing, limping, being pushed along”
Because all are invited to
The birthday party of Jesus.”
Loving thanks to each and all of you
For your friendship over the years.
