Dear Jesus, all I want for Christmas is…

Dear Jesus, now you know I wouldn’t mind these…

But what I really need from you is to:

…give me freedom from this…

…give me strong leadership to lead them…

…make this relationship even more beautiful…

…help me to prepare this 5-year old for Kindergarten…

…and to love this fiesty little 1-year old with discipline and patience…

…give me creative inspiration to do this well…

…send me somewhere I could go to serve others where I’d need to use this…

…remind me to get out at every opportunity to enjoy this…

…remind me of how much I love to do this…

…help me to get out there & do this…

…give us the discipline to manage this well…

…help me to LOVE to eat these…

…and more than anything else I need for Christmas?

The grace to love you with all of my heart, all of my soul, all of my strength & all of my mind…

and of course, it wouldn’t hurt to love my neighbor as myself.

Amen
