What is Sure to Break Out After Every Christmas

I
did see Tallest Son carry in the eggs, the thermometer.

But we were cutting out snowflakes, stringing the tree, playing our favorite Christmas carols.

And then sometimes, after they were all in bed and the house was quiet and the advent candles still flickered on in the dark, it'd catch me by surprise.

To hear him too.

I'd stand for awhile in the dark, at the top of the stairs, just listening to that faint "peep, cheep, peep" of that chick in Son's incubator.

And in the twinkle of the Christmas tree lights, I'd smile.

For doesn't Christ coming truly make all things new?

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;
old things have passed away;
all things have become new...

~ 2 Corinthians 5:17

The New Year is truly New Hope, an opportunity to break out of old ways, because of Christmas.

May your 2010 hatch the very best of things!

All's grace,
