A Christmas prayer

For broken homes and broken lives,
For those who’ve never seen the Light,
For little ones and old alike,
For those who have no hope in sight…

Oh Lord, please, bless and touch each one
And help us help with humble hearts
And share the blessings you impart
That they may know they’re in your heart.

How will they know if we don’t go?
How will they have if we don’t give?
Help us each day to do our share
So they may know you and believe.

Christmas: a blessing to the world,
Because you gave yourself, for us;
Make us a vessel of your love
Sharing hope with those around us.

Let Christmas be a guiding light
To share with others the delight
Of knowing peace and love within.
‘Cause Jesus set us free from sin.

The Christmas spirit is to give
So let us give comfort, relief,
and share and give and then, receive…
for giving does comes back to give.

Merry Christmas! The more we share... the merrier it will be!
