A Christmas Blessing:
Know your life is a treasured gift of God.
Know our human journey matters to God because God has joined us on that journey
Know that in Jesus is the light that can guide us and lead us in our darkness
May you know the light and love of God that has come to us in the gift of Jesus, and may this light and love guide you and be in you.
Amen
