Merry Christmas! It is my sincere hope that you have a marvelous Christmas weekend celebrating the birth of Christ with family and friends. As I was looking through notes and searching for some nugget of truth to share with you today, I came across the beautifully written prayer from Robert Louis Stevenson below. May your heart be encouraged with these words.

"O God our loving Father, help us rightly to remember the birth of Jesus, that we may share in the song of the angels, the gladness of the shepherds, and the worship of the wise men. May Christmas morning make us happy to be Thy children and Christmas evening bring us to our beds with grateful thoughts, forgiving and forgiven, for Jesus’ sake, amen."
