Merry Christmas to all!

God wants to give you wonderful Christmas gifts through His Son, Jesus. Do you want them? Just pray this simple prayer:

"Dear God, thank You for thinking of me at Christmas. Please give me the gifts You have promised--gifts of love, joy, peace, happiness, and the best gift of all, eternal life with You and Your Son, Jesus. I open my heart and ask You to fill it with good things. Amen."

When Christmas Comes

Have you any old grudges you would like to pay,
Any wrongs laid up from a bygone day?
Gather them now and lay them away
When Christmas comes.
Hard thoughts are heavy to carry, my friend,
And life is short from beginning to end;
Be kind to yourself, leave nothing to mend
When Christmas comes.

--William Lytle in "When Christmas Comes"
