The Christmas Well |
Snowflakes had gathered
on the ground and created a winter wonderland for a city with bright lights and
loud noises. It was a town that had denied Christmas long, long ago, but they
still put up trees and bought one another gifts and visited Santa on that day. They
still had fancy feasts and made merry with drink, but two young souls knew
there had to be more, and it was the day before ‘Christmas’ and they found themselves by the well…they found
themselves by the Christmas Well.
Jane
“Well, there
it is.”
Jack
“Yes,
there it is.”
Jane
“Should
we look down it?”
Jack
“You
know that’s forbidden, we really shouldn’t....should we?”
Jane
“Yes,
we should......we should see for ourselves."
They both warily walked closer
to the well.
Jane
“They
say it’s inside the well.”
Jack
“Yea,
that’s what they say.”
Jane
“Well,
I’m gonna look.”
Jane walked up to the
well and peered over the sturdy rock structure, and when she looked back up
again, her face was all aglow.
Jack
“What
in the world did you see down there?”
Jane
“I
saw churches and carolers and candles down there, and a babe.”
Jack
“A
babe?”
Jane
“Yes,
a most glorious babe laying in a manger.”
Jack
“What
else did you see?”
Jane
“I
saw a beautiful story for you, for me, for the whole wide world.”
Jack
“You
saw all that in the well? What else did you see?”
Jane
“You
have to see for yourself.”
Jack makes his way to
the well and looks down.
Jack
“It's so beautiful! Why in heaven would they
want to ban the light of the world....the hope of all men? Why would they want
to ban peace on earth and good will to men?”
Jane
“I
know, right? It doesn’t make any sense for them to do such a thing.”
Jack
“They
didn’t believe and their hearts pushed Him away, I suppose.”
Jane
“But
I believe and want Christ put back in Christmas!”
Jack
“So
do I, but what can we do, we’re just kids?”
Jane
“We
may be just kids, but we can remind them that there really can never be a
Christmas without Christ. Maybe they’ll
lisen.”
Jack
“Maybe
they will.”
Fade out…….
