GOLD AND GREEN

Snippet

By reading the scriptures I am so renewed that all nature seems renewed around me and with me. The sky seems to be a pure, a cooler blue, the trees a deeper green. The whole world is charged with the glory of God and I feel fire and music under my feet. Thomas Merton

Scripture

But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever. Psalms 52:8 NKJV

Christmas trees and window panes

Shimmering where tinsel hangs

And the butter light of candlesticks

Chases snowflakes off the bricks

The postman is shivering

With packages he's delivering

Ribbons pulled and try to hide

Wishes waiting warm inside

And everything looks better in gold and green

The lights on the trees shining all through the city

Are the prettiest I've ever seen

And the world decides to sleep safe tonight

The carolers they sing noel

Silent night and silver bells

And all around you snow will fall

Like confetti stars and paper dolls

And everything looks better in gold and green

The lights on the trees in the eyes of our children

Are the prettiest I've ever seen

And the world decides to sleep safe tonight

The first noel

The angels did say

Was to certain poor shepherds

In fields where they lay

Everything looks better in gold and green

Everything looks better in gold and green

Everything looks better in gold and green

Everything looks better in gold and green

Everything looks better

Everything looks better

Sentence Prayer

Jesus:

Remind me this time of year

The Magi laid down their gold

To receive the green of eternal life

From your grace.  Amen
