My Journey to God

Epiphany’s Message

My teenage daughter
Has always loved Christmas.
She starts looking forward to it
As early as August.

But after December 25th passes
She’s sad,
Laments that Christmas is over.
The tree will be put up
Decorations boxed up
Christmas parties and puzzles shelved
No more Christmas TV shows.

But doesn’t she know
That although the Season of Christmas
Draws to a close
The message and Person of Christmas
Live on in us
And goes beyond the Magi’s gifts.

Epiphany’s message:
God is at work
Jesus comes for all
And personally
To each one of us.

Never stop watching for it
Never stop expecting it.
