My Christmas, Past, Present, Future Prayer for You and Yours

May your memories of those long ago
Christmases of your childhood
Fill you with a renewed sense of wonder
So that you may once again embrace
Christmas present with unbridled joy
And see the world for
One brief season once again with
The innocence of that awe-struck child.
May you receive the messages of guidance
And comfort from your family and friends
Who are celebrating Christmas in the Kingdom of God.
May you receive the gift
Of feeling their presence throughout
The upcoming year.
May your Christmas present be filled
With the true gifts of this holy season:
Love, faith, hope, and new beginnings
And may these gifts and the
Grace of God fill you with the courage
To face and embrace
Whatever the new year may bring.
May this renewed spirit be the wings
that carry you and yours, God willing,
To another, and another, and countless other
Future Christmases.
May each and every one of these Christmases
Yet to come
Be ones of peace, gratitude, and joy.

Amen. Amen. Amen…
