His Gift in a Stable ...

From our house to yours, we wish you a most Christ-filled Christmas!
More Prayers at Work, by James H. Daughdrill, Jr.:

Wednesday, December 24, 2008 -- (Meditation: Matt. 19:13-15)
God, renew in my heart this Christmas the simple faith I see in the eyes of little children. They nod and smile knowingly when they sing about angels on high. Their faces sparkle when they hear stories about the new born Baby, the shepherds out in the fields, and the wise men following a great star. God, may little children teach me anew the ways of faith and joy and
wonder at Christmas. Through Jesus Christ, my Lord. Amen. (Meditation: Romans 14:7-9)

Thursday, December 25, 2008 -- (Meditation: Luke 2:11-14)
God, we come to the crude cradle in the bare stable in Bethlehem. We are shocked to see how great Your love is for us; the Creator of the world is a weak, helpless baby. With the heavenly hosts, we fall down on our knees to worship the King, for God is with us. How majestic is this humble sight! The world will never be the same; God is with us. Our lives will never be the
same. God is with us! Glory be to God in the highest, and on earth, peace, good will to all. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
