Holy, Restless Anticipation by Anne Jackson
—
Stay right here a little while
Stay right here my dear
Hear me whisper to your heart
And take away your fear
For you soon will see
An unlikely king
And you soon will feel
A flesh that will heal
Oh, Divine, my Word on your lips
Find refuge in a holy kiss
Stay right here a little while
Stay right here my dear
Hear me whisper to your heart
And take away your fear

Anne, this gave me holy goosebumps. Beautiful poem.
My friends just had twins this weekend so I’ve been thinking about baby Jesus a lot. Really puts it in a new perspective to see God as a vulnerable infant.
Oh God, slow us down so we can rest. Give us courage to sit still and quiet. Help all our crazy strivings to cease.
We are so eternally needy. We so badly crave the closeness that only You are able to provide. Speak peace and truth into our weary souls.
Love us deeply, love us well.

Beautiful. I had no idea you were such a talented poet. What a gift.
I’m not sure how I didn’t know this but you got mad skills for poetry. I’m not usually moved by poems but this was good. Merry Christmas to you and the Hubs. Be blessed, in Jesus’ name.
