Advent 10

Peace

It is wild outside!
The winds roar
Tress bow and bend
And the jackdaws wheel and swoop on the gusts

In my house it is warm and dry
I have shelter
I am blessed

Holy God
Be with those who have no peace
Those who have no shelter
Those who fear the weather, the extremes, the unknown 

As we who are so privileged 
Trim our trees and prepare rich food
Help us to spare a thought for the others

The lost and the lonely
The sad and the weary
The outcast and stranger

And help us to be the peace bringers
In the season of peace
