 A Holiday Prayer by Velma M. Carlson (1903-1996) We thank thee Dear God For the blessing of life For thy wondrous love and care. We thank thee Dear God For our home and Church For we know that thou art there. We thank thee Dear Lord For the chance to live To love, to serve thee each day. May we hear thy word with open minds Teach us, Dear Lord, to pray. Help us Dear Lord to live our lives That we may resemble thee. Help us obey thy every wish Whatever it may be. Let us be kind to others, Dear God, And cheer them along the way. We could accomplish so little without thee, Lord Help us, Dear God, we pray... Dear Lord, thou knowest our every need. Our burdens when heavy to bear ~ Show us the way of truth and light Our many blessings to share. Fill our hearts with confidence and love And let our light so shine. Increase our faith in thee, Dear Lord, With "peace and joy" in mind. We pray, Our Father, for peace on earth And good will toward all men. We pray for our lads in foreign wars, That they will come home again. .........................................AMEN [This message has been edited by Nan (edited 12-24-1999).] |

Thank you all - Nana is smiling down on us... Christmas Eve was her favorite day of the year, as Swedish tradition is to celebrate on the "Eve".... Merry Christmas to everyone... [This message has been edited by Nan (edited 12-24-1999).] |
