Festive Ribbon



Festive ribbon, sprawling red
Reminder of the blood once shed
By the One who bore our sin;
In manger, saw His life begin.
No wreath adorned nor sparkling tree
Could replicate this gift to me.
And yet, they point me to the Way
Of hope and faith; my guide, I pray.

  1. Martha,
    This is so beautiful! Last year during this time, I thought a bit on how the cradle was overshadowed by the cross. Christmas and Easter--we can't have one without the other.

    Love and blessings!
