As a church let us shine like the star on the tree,
Be a beacon of hope in a troublesome sea.
Let us stride out and manage that one extra mile,
Replace every frown with a welcoming smile.
Be approachable, open, be patient and kind,
Be that person whom others are trying to find.
Hold a friend for whom touch, has been lost on the way,
Lend an ear to that person, who dreads one more day.
Raise our voices in song, not in harshness of word,
Let the music begin and the message be heard.
Throw our doors open wide, light a fire in the grate,
Reach out for the lost who are passing our gate.
Take a moment to chat with the folks on their own,
Break the silence they live with, in being alone.
Invite them along to a service or two,
To be part of a family that is nurtured by You.
As we open our gifts, let our thoughts drift afar,
To those places on earth that are ravaged by war.
Hear our prayers for those nations, for horrors to cease,
And pour down your blessings of true Christmas peace.
Be close by us this Christmas, and help us we pray,
Share the news of Christ's birth with who passes our way.
At last my ''Seasonal Feelings Slideshow'' is finished. Here is the shorter version as the one I will be using at church in January is a bit longer, length of time wise.
I would like to share this with you and wish you all a Peaceful Christmas.
