Christmas Blessing
2023
40th Year of Deacon Dave’s Christmas Display
(House of the Dove)
“Prayer is joy. Prayer is love. Prayer is peace.
You cannot explain it, you must experience prayer,
It is not impossible. God gives it for the asking.
“Ask and you shall receive.”
The father knows what to give his children,
How much more our Heavenly Father knows.”
(Mother Teresa)
From the Book of Genesis:
“Then God said, “Let there be light.”
And there was light.
In these times, let us pray for world peace.
We are like the rainbow of color, no matter
Our ethnicity, the color of our skin, our rich culture,
Our Heavenly Father calls all of us his children.
In this season celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ,
the Son of God. The light of Christ shines upon
us to be “Light” to others.
Pray for and help those in need. Live your Faith,
And practice the teachings of Jesus.
We live in a challenging times;
Lack of respect for each other, gun violence in our streets,
Thefts at night and broad daylight.
It seems that care and respect for life is absent from
Our world.
My Christmas prayer is for a Holy Season
reflecting on lighting the way for Love, Joy and Peace
in our families, friends and the world.
May you be blessed by God
as you walk under the lights of the House of the Dove.
