| JULY 3, 2013 -- Every Day Is Christmas
I am bringing you good news of great joy for all
the people: to you is born this day in the city of
David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord.
Luke 2:10-11 (NRSV)
Recipe For Christmas All Year Long
Take a heap of child-like wonder
That opens up our eyes
To the unexpected gifts in life-
Each Day a sweet surprise.
Mix in fond appreciation
For the people who we know;
Like festive Christmas candles,
Each one has a special glow.
Add some giggles and some laughter,
A dash of Christmas good,
(Amazing how a piece of pie
improves our attitude!)
Stir it all with human kindness;
Wrap it in love and peace,
Decorate with optimism, and
our joy will never cease.
If we use this healthy recipe,
We know we will remember
To be in the Christmas Spirit
Even when it’s not December.
By Joanna Fuchs
Prayer: In the bustle of our lives,
help us, O God, to remember that
you come to us each day - whether
it’s Christmastime or not. Amen.
