A Christmas Prayer*: Dear Lord, don’t let us miss You this Christmas season. Help us to simplify our activities and traditions so we can focus our celebration on Your birth. Thank You for being the Prince of Peace, and I ask You for that supernatural peace to reign in our hearts. Thank You for the simple but life-changing message of Your love for us. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Christmas Inspiration: “Christmas” by Poet M. Nora Boylan**
C is for the Christ who came
To this lowly earth.
H is for the harps that rang
At our Saviour’s birth.
R is for the ringing bells,
Telling Christmas-tide.
I is for the crystal ice
Where we go to slide.
S is for the schoolboy’s sled
When he coasting goes.
T is for poor Tommy Jones
Jack Frost bit his nose.
M is for the merry part
Of this Christmas day,
A is for the apple pies
Grandma put away.
S is for old Santa Claus,
Coming here to-night.
