On the Eve of Christmas

Read this quote on this blog:  http://jodyrlanders.com a few days ago and it touched me.  Thought I'd share!  Hope everyone is enjoying their Christmas Eve, but also remembering the true reason we celebrate.

Lord Jesus, Master of both the light & the darkness, send your Holy Spirit upon our preparations for Christmas.

We who have so much to do seek quiet spaces to hear your voice each day.

We who are anxious over many things look forward to your coming among us.

We who are blessed in so many ways long for the complete joy of your kingdom.

We whose hearts are heavy seek the joy of your presence.

We are your people, walking in darkness, yet seeking the light. To you we say, 
“Come Lord Jesus!”
