Good Morning, God
'Tis the day before the day before Christmas. The stores are even busier, the streets are still slow, the parking lots are still full, and the internet orders are still being made, although the arrival of the gifts will be after Christmas now! (Although one may still get a delivery tomorrow if one pays for overnight delivery).
Most everyone is trying to wind down their work load by quitting time today, looking forward to at least next Monday off, if not all week and the New Year's weekend off, only to return "next year" on January 3rd. Lord, what a blessing it is to be able to work hard then be rewarded with paid days off.
This morning we want to ask for special blessing for those who have to work the holidays - the emergency workers and healthcare folks, and even the pastors of our churches, Lord. Our pastors will faithfully be in church on Christmas Eve, on Sunday morning Christmas Day, perhaps New Year's Eve and probably on New Year's Day. Especially bless those among us who work for our physical and spiritual health and safety in the days ahead.
In Jesus name, Amen
