A Lump Of Coal
Read: Genesis 45:3-8, 50:18-20
Remember when you were a kid, and at Christmas time you hung up your stocking for Santa to fill?
If you'd been good, he'd give you candy and oranges. If you'd been bad, you'd get coal.
Picture this –
A snowman facing the fireplace – his back to you.
He reaches into his stocking and finds coal.
He turns; he has eyes and shouts joyfully – “I can see!”
Sometimes we get coal.
Sometimes it's a blessing.
Prayer: Dear God, let us see. Amen
