Today I Pray…

Good Morning Dear Lord,

I sit here this morning, the Christmas lights warm the atmosphere with gentle colors. Old man winter visited last night and Jack Frost left his beautiful blanket of white upon the ground and foliage.

I bask in the warmth of my home, the love I received at Christmas, and the blessing of life within the circle of your arms Lord.

I pray Lord for a day of rest! The holidays are beautiful and festive and time to see friends and family, running here and there! I find myself tired and thankful for a day at home to reflect and appreciate.

I would ask Lord for the spirit of Christmas to remain in our hearts as we begin a new year. To grow closer to you every day and reflect you in our actions and attitudes.

I wish the twinkle lights could stay year-round. I wish that the spirit of your love could be felt and shared without a holiday producing such feelings. I wish the sparkle of joy and love would continue to seep out of us even after the lights go dark.

I wish we would remember that the birth of your son, Jesus Christ is the reason for the gold, the gifts, and the love! That gift is eternal, help us Lord to carry and share the gift of your son!

I love you, Father God, Lord Jesus, and Our Holy Spirit…

In your name I pray with Thanksgiving…Amen

I hope with all my heart your holidays were special and left you feeling loved. I hope all will recognize that Jesus is with us every day and every day He is Love! Be blessed today and thank you for joining me!
