My prayer for all who read this blog...

...is the benediction that I used last night at the Christmas Eve Service at our church.
May the prophet’s longing for healing in this broken world remind you that you are not alone in waiting…

May God’s entry through a poor Jewish girl in a little town with no significance remind you that God can and does work through what the world sees as insignificant

May the choosing of the shepherds remind you that in Jesus all are called to come and worship…and may you come.

May the joy of the angels remind you that the healing of a broken world through Jesus is truly good news of great joy for all people…

And may the great light that Jesus brings fill you, overwhelm you, and spill out of you into this dark world, until He returns.

Amen.
Merry Christmas!
