Merry Christmas, everyone!
May your holidays be filled with an abiding faith in your beliefs and in hope for a bright future for our world.
And if you believe in the reason for the season, may you be inspired with awe over the birth of Christ and the sacrifice of the man named Jesus.
He and his Father bring hope to our world.
While this holiday is a time for hope, it's also a time to remember that many people out there are suffering -- and need solace.
Peace.
Love.
Forgiveness.
Many have trouble paying their bills.
Many go without proper medical care because of cost.
Many live alone and feel lonely.
Many have made mistakes in their lives and need redemption, for even in our darkest moments and hardest struggles, we are never beyond God's redemption.
So please spread your love, your joy ... and your forgiveness.
There are many who need it.
Dear God, Thank you for your amazing power and work in our lives, thank you for your goodness and for your blessings over us. Thank you that you are able to bring hope through even the toughest of times, strengthening us for your purposes. Thank you for your great love and care. Thank you for your mercy and grace.
Amen.
