Thank you, Lord
for the promise of peace
and love in your world.
Your continued presence in our lives
is a comfort in times of peril
and warmth in times of plenty.
We thank You for the renewal
of your life within us,
as we celebrate
the day of Your birth
beside us.
I pray that we are
worthy of the love
You offer and the
Light to walk on your path,
even when we fail
to recognize you in the
face of others.
