Rewind to the Days of
Christmas Divinity
Rewind to the days of Christmas Divinity
Mama’s sugar had a sweetness of its own
Our eyes twinkled just as bright as the lights
Dripping outside from our windows and porch rails.
Small house bustling rich and warm
with excitement for the coming of Christmas Day
As holiday movies glow,
Soulful holiday songs lull family members to sleep
while others remain awake to hear the next melody
Anticipation swarms
Relatives coming
Will steps make it
With snow hailing down from all directions?
A blast of cold air drafts inside
As our family favorite rolls in
With sunshine from the Windy City.
Little ones sneaking around the tree
To unearth gifts hidden in pretty paper
Not realizing that they had been outsmarted with hidden blessings
All around undercover
In closets, in trunks, and sometimes places forgotten about until after
Christmas Day had arrived.
Fast forward to the days of Christmas Divinity …
Allow Jesus Christ’s presence to glow within us
On Christmas Day and beyond.

Your stories reek of such nostalgia, I can tell persons with old beautiful souls from miles away. I too have an old soul. It is a gift and sometimes a curse, mostly gift though.
Oh, this is incredibly sweet.
This was so heartwarming and wonderful! I loved it!
