Amidst the excitement of the season,
let us not miss "the reason for the season",
the birth of God's son,
Jesus Christ.
Let us bring Jesus back to our family celebrations.
Jesus is only a prayer away.
A Christmas Prayer
by Robert Louis Stevenson
that we may share in the song of the angels,
the gladness of the shepherds,
and worship of the wise man.
Close the door of hate and open the door of love all over the world.
Let kindness come with every gift and good desires with every greeting.
Deliver us from evil by the blessing which Christ brings, and teach us to be merry with clear hearts.
May the Christmas morning make us happy to be thy children,
and Christmas evening bring us to our beds with grateful thoughts,
forgiving and forgiven,
for Jesus' sake.
Amen.
Wishing you all a joyful and meaningful CHRISTmas! ♥
Love and light,
SAL ♥

Love all lovely, love divine;
Love was born at Christmas,
Stars and angels gave the sign.
