Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say
Pray for peace people everywhere
Listen to what I say
The child, the child
Sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light

~Do You Hear What I Hear?

Last night, I watched my child’s eyes twinkle with the lights of Christmas.

I saw his little fingers reach out to touch the ornaments that his daddy and I have collected over the years, a mishmash of our history together, tokens of our hope.

Hope that was realized this year, in that very moment.
