Had ourselves a merry little Christmas…

Jesus’ birth – God on Earth was worth celebrating as always…

For Prayer:

  • We thank God for the intense privilege of food, shelter and life – luxuries in our world.
  • We thank God for coming to Earth to save us – that Christmas Day became Easter.
  • We pray for the grief in our broken world – including the grief of a dad, a passionate swimmer who now has to sit in the shade, watching from afar as his kids have fun at the beach – another bittersweet moment.

 

“God’s power protects you through your faith,

and it keeps you safe until your salvation comes. 

That salvation is ready to be given to you at the end of time.

This makes you very happy.

But now for a short time different kinds of troubles may make you sad.

These troubles come to prove that your faith is pure”

1 Peter 1:4-5  International Childrens Bible
