Oh yes, Christmas is only a few days off. Have you prepared? Have you studied the scriptures that tell the story of the feast? Have you shopped and bought a few prezzies for loved ones? Have you donated to someone or some project for those without? Have you settled last year's difficulties? Have you attended to those who lost loved ones this year? Have you prayed for peace?
You may not be familiar with Robert Louis Stevenson's Christmas prayer so I quote a bit of it here and wish you and yours a wonderful holiday!
"Loving Father, help us remember the birth of Jesus, that we may share in the song of the angels, the gladness of the shepherds, and the wisdom of the wise men.
Close the door of hate and open the door of love, let kindness come with every gift, may the Christmas morning make us happy, and the Christmas evening bring us to our beds with grateful thoughts..."
BLESSINGS.
