Loving Father,
help us to remember
the birth of Jesus,
that we may share in
the song of the angels,
the gladness of the
shepherds, and the
worship of the wise men.
Close the door of hate
and open the door of love
all over the world.
Let kindness come with
every gift and good desires
with every greeting.
Deliver us from evil by the
blessing which Christ brings,
And teach us to be
merry with clear hearts.
May the Christmas morning make
us happy to be Thy children,
And the Christmas evening
bring us to our beds with
grateful thoughts, forgiving
and forgiven, for Jesus' sake.
Amen !
written by Robert Louis Stevenson
(1850-1894)

Luke 2:7 (KJV)
And she brought forth her firstborn son,
and wrapped him in swaddling clothes,
and laid him in a manger;
because there was no room
for them in the inn.
May Love, Joy, Peace and goodwill
be your gift at Christmas
and may God shower you with blessings
all the New Year through !
Merry CHRISTmas
