Friday's Faith - No Presence I See…










No Presence I See…



Sure of what I hope for,

certain of what I do not see—

Her presence is what I long for

More than presents under a tree…



So we are canceling Christmas

this year—no presents, wreath, nor tree,

And though we long for Christmas past—

It’s through the veil we strain to see…



Sure of what I hope for,

certain of what I do not see—

Christmas busy-ness I abhor,

My present is her presence…soon I’ll see!



So we are canceling Christmas

At least as once we knew it…


Looking back to first Christmas past

God’s Present to us – His presence

Born in a baby…to be born in us…

Later, He’d choose to lose it…



Sure of what I hope for,

certain of what I do not see—

God’s presence is what I long for

More than presents under a tree…




Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

~Hebrews 11:1 NIV
