Homecoming

 

Winters Blanket fell silently and gracefully throughout the night

Layers of flakes floating down from above creating a beautiful quilt for the earth

Icicles chiseled out with upmost care and carefully hung from the limbs

But the two young ones knew not the care the Creator was taking

Deeply entrenched in their dreams they slept soundly throughout the night

Undisturbed as the miracle unfolded

Yesterday’s sky was grey and the day wind blustering

The young mother worried he promised to return but what if

How would she explain

But God had a plain – Why did she ever let fear creep in?

But God understood and now smiled as the young anxious mother looked out with wonder

The three broke their fast quickly the excitement building

Quickly she hustled each into their warm coats, boots and mittens

Now rushing out they watched as their father rode in on his faithful stead

The sun glittering on the snow accompanied by a chorus of birds

And God smiled as his creation a perfect homecoming for his beloved children unfolded!
