Bells Of Christmas



Dear God,

Bells and red kettles remind us
we are blessed to have something to share.

Bells on white horses remind us
of family and friends who gather.

Bells, white gloves and dark velvet remind us
of harmony, which Your presence brings.

Bless us today with the Bells of Christmas.

Thanks God,
Amen

Show Us



Dear God,

Some days feel cold and bleak.
Make us smart like a fox.
Show us which way to go.

Show us how to move forward.

Some days we feel alone.
May we have a sense that You are near.
Show us how to care for each other.

Thanks God.
Amen.
