A Prayer on Christmas Eve

We have come this far, O God.
Somehow we have found our way from then to now;
From that place to this.
Some of us have danced our way to this moment;
Some of us have stumbled.
But, nevertheless, here we are;
Poised once again on the edge of a promise.
Maybe this time we will understand, O God.
Maybe this time.
We pray that it might be so.
Amen.
