Stars are something that always pique my sense of wonder and amazement. And I think they make a wonderful metaphor for Christ and some of the lessons we can take from this Christmas season.
Christmas Stars
In the bustle of the trees
The presents, the wrapping,
The parties, the traveling,
The fun and the family,
Don’t forget the stars.
The stars that remind you
Of the first Christmas,
And of the shepherds who left their flocks
To witness the Lamb of God.
The stars that belong together,
And remind us of the Shephard’s flock.
There are lambs left to be gathered
Even when the tree is packed away.
The stars that point us ever onward,
That show to us the Way,
Our path back home,
And the covenant mile markers.
The stars that I hope we each see,
This Christmas season,
As we reflect on the Light of the world,
And our sky He lights with stars.
