Even though I can't stand winter, I love the Christmas season. It's a time to give gifts and to give thanks and to remember the real reason for Christmas.... The birth of Jesus Christ, our Saviour.
I was at church this evening for Christingle and the congregation were asked to say a prayer/ statement. I that this prayer was so true and I think it something that we all do. Below I have added the statement that we asked to say.
"Father God, we are sorry for when we make the Christmas season more about us than about you. We are sorry for the times when we think, act or speak as if the story of Jesus' birth and his love for us, is more about making ourselves feel good, than following you in loving others.
May God who loved the world so much that he sent His Son to be our Saviour forgive us our sins and make us holy to serve Him in the world, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen"
