18 December

And this is the name by which he will be called.
The Lord is our righteousness.
Our prayers are often still born or stalled.
We seem afflicted with mindlessness.The angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream.
Saying do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife.
Not always are our dreams as they seem.
They may point to new life.

I don’t have nightmares.
But most things in my dreams go wrong.
Tangled indeed are mens’ affairs.
I just bear it, awaken and sing my own song.

But Joseph’s dream was right.
And now he saw the light.

…….

We call him this name
The son of righteousness
He’s with us always

See Jeremiah 23 :1-8  and Matthew 1: 18-24
