Dear God: Two thousand years ago, in the fullness of time, an epoch-making event took place: Your Son was sent to our earth to become a human being—Jesus Christ. Thank You so much for this amazing gift to mankind. We called Him Jesus, “. . . for He shall save His people from their sins.”
Thank You for such a wonderful Savior and the gift of forgiveness. He indeed is the Son of the Most High. Father, at this Christmas season, we pause to acknowledge His birth. We accept Him anew as our Savior, as Your Son, and as our King. As the Holy Spirit came upon Mary with the power of the Most High, come thou upon us and be born anew within our hearts.
Blessed be Your Holy Name! Amen!

How can I resist chasing the crowds who run with the wind? Maybe the grass really is greener “over there.” What will I miss by forcing myself to be simple and quiet? Will I ever be able to catch up?
Perhaps the better question is, what will I miss by failing to heed simplicity’s call? Always running ahead of my heart, weakens my sense of purpose and meaning. Lord, Help me to slow down and rediscover the joy of soulful communion.
