Be Like the Wise Men

Be like the wise men
Who acted on the sign
Though the journey tried them
The Lord, was theirs to find

Be like the wise men
Who knew to travel far,
To bring gifts with them,
And follow that bright star

Be like the wise men
And act on what you see.
Read His words. Listen.
They knew just what to bring!

Be like the wise men

Learn to listen and heed

In a dream God warned them

Of King Herod's plot, indeed

Call, visit, and nurture

Bring gifts of faith, love, and hope

Let the spirit tutor

And lead you safely home

I just learned about the celebration day called the Day of Epiphany: , commonly known as Three Kings' Day in the United States, is on January 6. It celebrates the three wise men's visit to baby Jesus.

I am thinking of what gifts I might develop to give to the Lord
Acting on wishes of good will? Calling, visiting, nurturing while bringing gifts of faith, love, kindness, hope...

Matt 2:12
But God warned the wise men in a dream not to go back to Herod. So they went home to their own country a different way.
