Merry Christmas To All...

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come to the stable in Bethlehem this Holy Season, our hearts overflowing with adoration and gratitude, as we kneel with Joseph and Mary before the manger of Your only-begotten Son.

Unto us, who have lost our innocence

and sense of wonder, a Child is born.

Unto us, who have hardened our hearts

and misplaced our joy, a Son is given.

Upon His shoulder rests a government both compassionate and servant,

for Jesus has come to embrace us,

wash our feet, and save us on the Cross.

Truly, in all our trials,

He is born to be our Friend!

O Lord, please send out Your Spirit

this Christmas and soften our hearts.

Help us take time to look into each other's eyes,

listen a little more closely, and appreciate the goodness of each person standing in front of us.

Help us take time also to seek You

in the quiet of our:

Hearts, Homes, Cars, and Churches,

for time with You is our greatest treasure.

Watch over our loved ones near and far,

especially those who protect us

at home and abroad.

Bring peace to every part of our world,

every room of our homes,

and every corner of our hearts.

Please Dear Lord Jesus,

Bless each of our Family & Friends

with Your warmth and light.

May You be born again in us

this Christmas and forever. Amen

To Our Dear Family & Friends,

We Wish you a Very Merry Christmas!

Greg & Christina Whale
