a prayer from the carol service (read post below)

Dad,

thanks for everything you've given to us, loving friends and family a life of food and shelter and water.

Your Son brought peace and passion to us at this time. We know your right here with us as we celebrate His visit.

Give us wisdom and genorosity towards each other but also to our brothers and sisters around the world who live in very different situations, those who may die of hunger or hypothemia or just be alone on Christmas day

Dont lets us feel guilty instead help us accept the responsibility of the wealth You've given to us so we can use it to express the LOVE and GRACE that Jesus, who was born in an foreign back alley, was all about

in His holy name amen
