Alphabet Advent: Q is for Quiet

Q is for Quiet

I struggled to find a word for Q.

Quiet seemed to be the only word that fit.

The quiet moments when Mary realized the enormous

privilege and responsibility

that she had just said "yes" to.

The quiet moments when Joseph brought

home a bride to protect

but not touch.

The quiet of the long journey

when time seemed to drag on forever.

The quiet of the night,

after the baby had been born,

and rested in his mother's arms.

The quiet awe of the shepherds

when they worshiped the baby.

The quiet after the commotion of visitors,

as Mary pondered them all in her heart.

The quiet of the heart that is focused on Jesus,

and his free gift of salvation.

Why not take the quarters you use
to one of the Salvation Army buckets?
or another place to bless others.
