As you gather with family and friends, here is a special prayer of thanks to share with your loved ones:
May your table be full, your laughter loud, and your hearts be light.
May the joy of Christ’s birth remind you
that hope is never far away,
and that love is the greatest gift we can share.
Lord, thank you for the gift of the season,
for the light that breaks through darkness,
for the warmth of togetherness, forgiveness,
and for the promise of hope and new beginnings.
Help us to carry this spirit beyond today
and into every day You give us.
Amen.
