The Year I put God on the Christmas List
November 25, 2011
It never occurred to me till this year
to put God on my Christmas list.
Heaven knows, I’ve been on the receiving end
too many times to count,
with a God whose giving knows no ending.
Maybe God would like a gift,
for a change.
What do you get Someone who has everything?
Slippers? Does one size truly fit all?
A book? What hasn’t God read yet?
An ipad? Are there apps made in heaven?
Can everyone really use socks?
I am a Mennonite pastor currently teaching theology at Conrad Grebel University College in Waterloo, Ontario. I’ve served congregations in Ontario and most recently, Alberta.
