COT:
Remembering the story of Abraham and Issac in Genesis 22. Recognizing that God calls us into hard things to test our faith, but is with us intimately in those trials. God himself offered up his only son just as he asked Abraham to do, and Jesus willingly went and did actually die. The Lord knows us more intimately than any human ever could hope too, and therefore in hard times we can lean on Him and remember that he truly knows our suffering.

Hebrews 4:12-16
[14] Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. [15] For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. [16] Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

Twas the morn of the exchange, and all through the Asylum,
Not a wise man was punctual—some lacked all sense of time.
The gifts were arranged ‘neath a streetlamp’s dim glow,
For a Coolio tradition, as old as they know.

The numbers were drawn—one to thirty, they’d say,
Though only twenty-four came to join in the fray.
First up was Gibbler, so proud in his pick,
Unaware that his treasure was stolen too quick.

Then Rainbow, so cunning, with a sly little grin,
Did swipe Gibbler’s bounty, but soon rued his sin.
For a punishment loomed—a quest in the night,
Up the Asylum’s dark peak, to retrieve the key’s light.

With red-striped candy cane, his journey was done,
And Rainbow returned to his rightful won.
Yet silence soon followed; none dared to steal,
Till Waffle House rose, for a change in the deal.

Adventures were plenty, with laughter and glee,
And Patty Melt crowned, with a horned jubilee.
But as time grew scarce, the Q took his stand,
BOM delivered, both heartfelt and grand.
With carols sung sweetly—“Hark! Herald Angels!” rang clear,
The story of Christmas resounded sincere.
A prayer of thanksgiving for Christ, Heaven’s Light,
“Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”
