A Christmas Blessing Poem*<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

May the grace of Christ bring you hope and joy,
and may the peace of Christ be yours.
May Jesus, the Lord, the miracle of God,
fill your heart with Christmas love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

May you hear the songs of the angels this morn’.
May you feel the joy that Jesus Christ is born.
May the beauty of Christmas surround you today.
May you find joy this Christmas Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

May you thank the Lord for the hope that He brings.
May you know the love of Jesus Christ, the King.
May you always believe that Christ came to save.
May you find hope this Christmas Day.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

May the peace of Christmas bring joy with no end.
May you feel the love of family and friends.
May the wonder of Christmas surround you today.
May you feel peace this Christmas Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

May you share this day with our Jesus in prayer.
May you share this day and show all you care.
May you gather together with loved ones this day.
May you find Christ this Christmas Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Christmas Quiz**<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve seen and heard the Christmas story scores of times and still don\u2019t have it quite right. It makes us wonder how many other places in God\u2019s revelation we overlooked or replaced the truth. How about you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
