My Christmas Prayer...



My prayer for this Christmas is simple, but quite complicated. It's cliche but real...

My Christmas prayer this year is that every single person out there would feel loved by at least one person... and would have some love to give. I pray everyone would have family to come home to, whether by blood or by choice. I pray each person feels an overwhelming sense of gratitude for what they have been given, that we would look beyond ourselves and seek to give to those in need. I pray the broken hearts could be mended by the power of a loving Heavenly Father. I pray we stop trying to fix people and instead wrap our arm around them and walk with them. I pray we feel the presence of our loved ones in Heaven, in those precious moments that we wish they could be here to share. I pray every child we know is loved and cared for. I pray we learn to believe in ourselves and believe in others. I pray we accept that Jesus loves us, no matter what we have done or where we have been or what we will do tomorrow... and that our hearts can rest in the simple promise that one day we will see Him face to face and hear Him say He loves us... no matter what.

You are beautiful. You are worthy. You are loved. Completely.

Merry Christmas my loved ones...
