a meditation -
creeping into the silence
peace of morning light
peace of morning light -
a hush the colour of dawn
before morning birds
before morning birds
still settled there a greyness -
tick of the clock
tick of the clock -
anticipation fades
a new day brightens
a new day brightens -
may the joy of Christmas near
cause a hearty stir

Fourth Candle
4th CANDLE – (purple) THE ANGEL CANDLE or THE CANDLE OF LOVE – The angels announced the good news of a Savior. “…I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord” (Luke 2:10b-11). God sent his only Son to earth to save us, because he loves us! “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” (John 3:16-17)
