Heavenly Father, we thank you…
For the friends and family, for the memories and traditions…
For the presents and parties, for the joy and laughter…
And most of all we thank you for the gift of Jesus…
Today, we pause… to remember the miracle of Christmas…
That you stepped into our world… in the form of a child…
You came not with power and riches, but with humility and grace
Born to a virgin, born in a manger, yet King of kings… and Lord of lords
You came to bring hope for the weary and peace for the restless
You came to heal the broken and to shine light… into our darkness
You’re the Savior of the the world and you are Immanuel, God with us
Wonderful counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting father, Prince of peace
As we celebrate the joy and wonder of this season…
Let us never forget… the true reason… we rejoice
Help us to reflect Your love in our homes and our communities,
To share Your peace with our neighbors,
And to carry the hope of Christmas into the New Year and beyond
May Christ dwell richly in our hearts this Christmas…
And may his light shine brightly in our lives…
Today, tomorrow, and for the rest of our days…
In the name of Jesus we pray, Amen
