The Christmas Dream…
Good morning beautiful people, good morning. We all know the song, I Am Dreaming of a White Christmas. That never really has to be a dream here in Northern Maine as the snow usually is very present.
I listened as the rain last evening washed the snow away. It rains heavily throughout the night, and I am sure there cannot be any or very little of snow left. I pray it’s the healing rain that this old world needs. The morning light has still not appeared and my part of the world seems dark at this very hour. I dedicate the day to the Lord and desire for you to too. Together let’s pray my favorite Christmas Prayer I penned a few years ago.
Father, 0h that love would abound in the hearts of people. That no child would be forgotten. That no person would go hungry. That hearts would heal from the pain of brokenness. That kindness would be sprinkled everywhere. That the gifts given in love would be just right. That forgiveness would be present. That our hearts would be tenderized by the magic of the season all year long. That addictions would be broken. That life would be good for everyone. That’s our prayer for Christmas.
Father, thank you for family, friends and the moments we share. May this Christmas bring peace, joy, hope and may love abound. May the birth of Jesus be celebrated in the hearts all across this globe, we pray.
Father, may our gift to you, oh God, to be vessels to share the good news of salvation. The best gift ever given, Jesus. He can’t be bought with money, doesn’t like to be put in a box, and doesn’t hide behind the tree. He dwells within the heart of man. Oh, that many will accept him and find the true meaning of Christmas, that’s our prayer. Amen.
Oh, how we love the Christ of Christmas!
Acts 4:10,12 Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead…There is salvation in no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.
Your heavens above, rain down my righteousness; let the clouds shower it down. Let the earth open wide, let salvation spring up, let righteousness flourish with it; I, the Lord, have created it. (Isaiah 45:8)
