The season and the reason

The air had a chill about it today and though I am not a fan of the cold, it was beautiful. 

The wind seemed to toss about a sense of peace. 

The clouds were vibrant yet still and the sky was entrancing. 

I wanted to lie in the grass and look up, 

would that have been strange for a grown up to do? 

Don't answer that. 

I think we are as old as we feel and though there are many days when I am undoubtedly my age, 

there are days, like today, when I am but a child at heart. 

It got me thinking about baby Jesus in that manger...on a still silent night. 

A priceless gift to the world, in the package of a baby. 

Nine little fingers with two opposing thumbs and ten toes, 

probably wrinkled, maybe fussy...

but beautiful just the same. 

I hope I never forget the reason for this season, 

and if by chance I begin to, 

God will still the clouds, like today, so I am reminded to look up.
