Dear Friends, and Fellow Sojourners,

I am here with an annual Christmas bit of writing. In honor of the gracious God who has given everything. May you find your own voice in these words today. For Jesus, the One, True, Living God and Forever King has given everything-to us- to make possible… all things. To Him be all glory forever.

Lord,

For the strange dreams of the season and especially last night,
I pray

For the eyes that did not perceive, the ears that could not hear,
I pray

For the grief of those who mourn this Christmas,
I pray

For the loved ones out of my reach (but not yours),
I pray

For those I don’t understand today or with whom I disagree,
I pray

For wars and plans in other lands, the many things out of my hands,
I pray

For old friends, and the many forgotten who’ve touched my life in any way,
I pray

For the truly hungry, truly poor, and truly needy,
I pray

For those who cannot yet see they are blind, poor, and naked,
I pray

For the voiceless relying on the goodness, kindness, and faithfulness of others,
I pray

For Your people everywhere,
I pray

For the Kingdom to come,
I pray

For the One who was and is and is to come,
I pray-Come!

Amen.

Merry Christmas, and God bless us every one!

Enthusiastically, Dawn
