A Christmas Prayer Top Our Friends

Heavenly Father,
this season let our minds
and hearts be fixed on you.
As we exchange gifts
may we be reminded Lord,
of the greatest gift of all,
Your son, Jesus Christ.
Born in a manger
some 2000 years ago.
But without the cross
and his resurrection,
this blessed day would have been
just another day in history.
This season,
may we not get caught up in the
commercialism of a secular world.
As families gather this season
may we have a burden
for those homes where his name
will not be mentioned
or given a passing thought.
May each of us be reminded,
that "Jesus, is the reason
for the season". 
It's his birthday.
Amen
