Heavenly Father, with all the Christmas plays going on in my area and hearing of them in other places I am reminded of my youth, as many of us participated in yearly church pageants where we dressed as an angel, a shepherd, a wiseman or maybe even Mary or Joseph. We memorized our parts from Matthew and Luke and can quote those Scriptures even today. It was exciting every Christmas to participate in the story of our Savior’s birth. Because of familiarity we can lose the wonder, the mystery, and the excitement of Christ coming to earth. Would You fill our hearts afresh with great joy as we reflect upon our Lord Jesus coming to earth to show His love to us and to teach us Your timeless truths. Our Saviour cared for the unlovable. He healed the sick, raised the dead, and drove out demons. He died for our sins and rose again on the third day. Yes, the story of the baby wrapped in swaddling clothes is familiar, but we never want to weary of the daily impact Christ’s coming to earth has on our lives and in our hearts. We love You and thank You for sending Jesus to us and in His name we ask this prayer. Amen.

Amen! What a wonderful prayer!! I get really sad during this time of year, and the main reason for this is that so many people forget, or don't even realize what Christmas is all about. It's not about the gifts and parties and everything else that goes on, it's all about our Savior!! It's His day alone!!! Oh, if people would just get this!!! Okay, I'm done ranting for now. Happy birthday Jesus!!!!
