This banner hangs in Milwaukie Presbyterian Church, my church. Over the last several years, I've been asked to write something for the church Christmas card. This year, this is the outside of the card. Since it's Christmas, I thought it fitting to share the poem I wrote for the card. (I usually write two and let them committee select the one they want.) gathering
faith and waiting for miracles in the world bring us hope, peace, joy and love gifts of the season ~jone rush macculloch I wish you the love and hope of the season. Much love. Irene at Live Your Poem is hosting Poetry Friday. Visit for more poetry goodness. 12/25/2020 02:00:13 am

Jone, how lovely. Gathering is such a beautiful word...even more so now that we are not gathering with loved ones in the same ways. I'm wishing you and yours peace and joy as well.

I love the idea that gathering and waiting for miracles gives hope--not the experiencing of miracles but the waiting for them. What a lovely tradition. 12/25/2020 03:41:46 pm
Beautiful message to send out, and I hope some small bits of health miracles emerge too, thanks Jone, Happy Holidays! 12/25/2020 10:46:03 pm
Jone, when I saw the thumbprint, I knew I had to link in. The image is so beautiful and makes me reflect on the meaning of Christmas. You poem is full of hope, light, and peace, Faith is what keeps us going through all the muck of the pandemic.
