Prayer of the Day:

Lord Jesus, we thank you for coming to be with us.  As we prepare for the upcoming days of celebration, send your Holy Spirit upon our hearts that we might make you the welcome guest of honor in our homes, around our tables and our trees.  As your unconditional love fills us, may that same love radiate through us.  May we, like John, leap for joy as we rejoice in your presence, goodness, and mercy. You are truly the greatest gift. You are love come down from heaven. May thanks abound all our days. This we pray in your holy name.  Amen.
