A Christmas Prayer
by Robert Louis Stevenson
Loving Father
help us remember the birth of Jesus
that we may share in the song of the angels
the gladness of the shepherds
and worship of the wise men.
Close the door of hate
and open the door of love all over the world.
Let kindness come with every gift
and good desires with every greeting.
Deliver us from evil by the blessing
which Christ brings
and teach us to be merry with clear hearts
May the Christmas morning
make us happy to be thy children,
and Christmas evening bring us to our beds
with grateful thoughts,
forgiving and forgiven
for Jesus' sake.
Amen
May everybody of all faiths and persuasions, nationalities, colour and creed and of every opinion have a peaceful and loving Christmas.
A Christmas Prayer

How very nicely put my dear Piglet, and the same to you both.
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.
