I'm thinking of someone who lost her husband over 10 years ago. Her children are spread out across the United States. She will spend Christmas Eve with her cat. Just another day. Nothing special. Please say a prayer for her.
I'm thinking of children who know a different Christmas than I know. There is a lack of presents and an abundance of alcohol and drama. Someone's going to get hurt - probably them. Scar on top of scar on top of scar. Please say a prayer for them.
I'm thinking of someone who has driven everyone away. She's already shedding tears because there is no one for her for the holidays. The pain of lonliness is 10-fold at Christmas. Please say a prayer for her.
Thank you Lord for all of the wonderful people you have put in my life. Thank you for letting me know your perfect love and the imperfect love of those around me. Please help me to be a light to those who don't know you. Help me to really love people simply because you created them and they are special to you. Give me strength to be kind when I would rather not. Please grant me the patience to serve you instead of myself. Teach me to love the way you love.
