Advent 2

Advent 2.

Catherine Alder
Advent Hands

I see the hands of Joseph...

He could have closed his hands to her, 
said, “No” and let her go to stoning.
But, dear Joseph opened both his heart and hands
to this mother and her child.
Preparing in these days before 
with working hands 
and wood pressed tight between them.
It is these rough hands that will open
and be the first to hold the Child...


[these pictures of Joseph were found in Pinterest.]
