christmas eve stuff ..

'twas the night before christmas ..

there was sharing
lots

sharing work
sharing serving
sharing food
sharing space
sharing conversation
sharing song


and then we shared more

shared carols
shared story
shared languages
shared war and peace
   peace from within war
   from the Prince of peace
shared the beautiful ordinariness of his advent
shared the beautiful ordinance of his body and blood
shared candles
shared hugs

reconciliation stuff
kingdom stuff

we shared Jesus all night long
and it was lovely

shalom
