For Amber

This post is especially for Amber. It's a lullaby for the season of advent, actually. It's from a friend of mine who's been praying for you. She wants you to know that there is hope.

View the present thro' the promise: Christ will come again.
Trust despite the deep'ning darkness: Christ will come again.
Lift the world above its grieving through your watching and believing
In the hope past faith's conceiving: Christ will come again.

Match the present to the promise: Christ will come again.
Make this hope your guiding premise: Christ will comeagain.
Pattern all your calculating and the world you are creating
To the advent you are waiting: Christ will come again.

Read it through a few times. . .it took me a few minutes to really appreciate what it has to say. View the present through the promise. We love you, Amber.
