A Prayer For Christmas
~Josephine Robertson~
Dear Father, I think Thee for the many joys of Christmas, and I pray that I may find ways to make the day happy for others. I think Thee for the sweet-scented pines aglow with lights, and for the manger scene of lovely mystery. I thank Thee for the wonder in children's eyes as they see their Christmas tree and find their full stockings; for their rapture in taking the parts of Mary, Joseph, a shepherd, an angel--even a snowflake--in a Christmas pageant; for their solemn, shining faces as they sing "Away in a Manger" and "Silent Night." I thank Thee that we have this day to show our love for family and friends and others far away, whom we may never see or know. May all our festivities be in the memory of the great gift and all our gifts given in the thought of the Christ Child. Amen
