Christmas Blessing
The following is “A Christmas Blessing” Betty Long prayed in my home about six years ago on Christmas Day. Last year I invited friends from church for a meal near Christmas and used this prayer.
“Almighty Father, How beautiful upon the mountains was the news of your coming and last night the heavens again reflected your glory and might, crisp and moon lite as it must have been when you were born.
Each year we are blessed anew with the story of your birth. For all of our lives we have shared this miracle with those we love and loved - then, now and may it continue forever. The gifts of your love and care know no ending. We each share the memory of those gifts in our own way.
May we meet the challenges of tomorrow unafraid.
We thank you for the food prepared for us this night and ask that you bless the world with your message of peace. Dear God, bless the family and friends gathered here tonight. Amen.”
