Pray for Marriages (The Untold Christmas Story)

Greetings Prayer Angels,

Christmas is almost here. Can you feel it?  Did they feel it over 2 millenniums ago?  Did they have any idea what was to come that dark, cold night?  They may not have been dreaming of Santa, but someone had been busy for months in their carpenter’s shop, pondering the greatest gift that he was to ensure delivery of.  He HAD to be ready.  A gift so unfathomable, that it would change everyone forever.  His wife, never in the limelight, sustained him with her unwavering love.  With a twinkle in her eye, she assured him that she had done her part in the preparation.   As they exchanged knowing glances, they knew that yes, this Gift could be delivered to all in just one night.  The love of Mary and Joseph was only a foreshadowing of the Love that they were to give birth to.  On that silent night, they were heard to exclaim, Ho-ly, Ho-ly, Ho-ly!!!

“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts! All the earth is filled with his glory!” Isaiah 6:3

The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord.   

Luke 2:10-11

Open your hearts this Christmas and accept the Gift that is freely given.  Love and Mercy will heal all.  Allow Love to more deeply enter your marriage.  From there it will flow to your family.  It is the Gift that keeps on giving.

May Peace descend upon your household,
May Joy overflow from your heart, and
May Love be the spark that unites, renews, or heals all your relationships,

Praying that your blessings be abundant this Christmas!
Janet

Share the Gift of Love.  Pass it on!
