Let’s Go!

What is there to do
After Christmas?
After the gifts
And the gatherings
And the ho, ho, ho.

What shall we do?

“Let’s go!”

It was the only
Fitting response
For the shepherds …
Or for anyone
Who comes close
To Christmas:

“Let us go over
To Bethlehem and see
This thing…
Which the Lord made known
To us.” (Luke 2:15)

I bless you with
The shepherds’ joy
That energized them
To run towards God.

Christmas isn’t an ending,
Child of God,
It’s a beginning.

“Let’s go!”
