Christmas Blessing, 2019

Dear Lord,
     We thank You for being here with us
     as we celebrate this cherished holiday
     to honor Your precious, sacred birth.
     We recognize and acknowledge
     that all the material pleasures we enjoy today,
     the food, the gifts, and everything else
     come from You, Lord,
     through your grace, your compassion,
     and Your love for us.
     Help us throughout the year
     to always strive to be worthy
     of all the blessings You have given us,
     our family, our friends and our comforts,
     by living our lives in Your will
     according to Your Holy Word.
     We pray that You will bless this food
     and everyone at this table.
     In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
