SCREAMING  GOD

A  baby  started  screaming 

during  church  this  morning …. 

On  and off - screams  and  silence …. 

Much  louder than  the priest …. 

It hit me, what if this was God

screaming to us? It seemed that

some people were screaming back,

“Could you please shut that baby up!”

I guess God won’t be quiet ….

I said  to myself, “Maybe this

is the way  God announces

‘I am here’- as a baby ….

“Maybe Christmas day is every day. 

And every day we have to get going 

with our Christmas gifts - to this child 

and to  all the children of this world."
