I know my readers are waiting for the third and final installment of my “Becoming Unwanted” series. That conclusion is forthcoming, but today is not the time for such concerns. This is Christ’s day. As I write, my prayer is that we stop to gaze in wonder at the Christ Child, laying all our affections and concerns beside his manger.
Here is this year’s Christmas poem by my daughter Alison:
| Expecting a conqueror | Expecting a noble king | Expecting one who brings peace | Expecting one who would set us free | We were not ready for his plan | |
We saw a helpless baby boy We received a humble servant We were sent one who had many enemies We were sent one who was taken captive But we were ready for who he planned to be |
Our Savior |

And here’s a picture of my other daughter:
