Sweet Redemption

candy canes, mince pies
chocolate Yule logs, mulled wine
for a Savior’s birth

abstinence from food
prayer, stations of the cross
for His suffering

chocolate bunnies
jelly beans and yellow peeps
for a risen Christ

our sweet redemption
by the love of Jesus Christ
no more just desserts

Inspired by weekly prompt — food
