We wish you all a wonderful day of love, laughter, and celebration with the people you cherish.
Our hearts are with those around the world who are separated from light and warmth this Christmas.
This prayer by Daniel Lee came from Lutheran World Relief and is based on Isaiah 9:2-7:
God of light, who illumines the night,
Come to those now in darkness.
God of plenty, who multiplies joy,
Come to those now in sorrow.
God of promise, who creates the harvest,
Come to those now who hunger.
This Christmas and always,
We trust in your light, your plenty and your promises.
Teach us again, through Word and deed,
of the Christ child made flesh among us:
Who breaks the rod of oppression,
That we might work for justice;
Who removes the yoke of burden
That our neighbor might walk with dignity;
Who sets the tools of war afire,
That all creation might live in peace.
Amen.
May peace, love, joy, and hope be with us all at Christmas time and always.
