A Christmas Prayer
Loving Father,
help us to remember the birth of Jesus,
that we may share in the song of the angels,
the gladness of the shepherds,
and the worship of the wise men.
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 the Christmas evening bring us to our beds
with grateful thoughts,
forgiving and forgiven,
for Jesus’ sake. Amen !
~Robert Louis Stevenson~
Merry Christmas to all! I pray that God will bless you this holiday season as you celebrate His birth.
