A Prayer for the Headlines for Monday, December 26th

Good Morning, God
"Tis the day after the birthday celebration for Jesus yesterday.  Many of us are enjoying the day off today after the big bash yesterday.  Many of us are not enjoying the crowds we are encountering at the return and exchange counters in the different stores.  Some of us are trying to figure out how we can exchange some of the gifts we received that were purchased on-line.  Some of us are already putting our Christmas things away for another year, wondering if we will go to all the trouble next year.
Of course, Lord, we should always go to the trouble to celebrate Christmas!  Oh, not necessarily with all the tinsel & glitter and trees and ornaments and battling the crowds.  But we ought to consider the peaceful night you came to earth in the gift of baby Jesus, take a long, slow breath this morning, say out loud to no one in particular "Thank you, God, for your gift of our Savior Jesus", and keep this part of Christmas alive all year long.  So "Thank you, God for you gift of our Savior Jesus".
In Jesus name, Amen
