2009 Advent Booklet, December 19, page 22

Matthew 1:18-24

God is with us. Jesus is born. He has come to save us from our sins. Let us open ourselves to this wonderful news and believe. Just as Advent reminds us of Jesus as a child, we can become young and fresh in thought, word and deed. Today is the first day of the rest of our lives. We can make it a good one in God's sight.

 Prayer

 Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you for the gift of Jesus. Renew, refresh and reenergize us for your work in the days ahead. We are not alone and that comfort gives us strength. Amen

 Jim and Margo Allen
