Our Heavenly Father, We give thanks for the birth of Your Son, and the celebration of His life. Help us to remember that He is the reason for this season. We give thanks for our family and friends, and for the fact that we can plan and enjoy a Christmas meal together. We thank you for your provision of this bountiful meal before us and for the gift of our school community. May we remember that there are those who have no families, no place, and no one with whom to have a Christmas dinner. Help us to listen to your small voice. We ask that you would bless our fellowship as we celebrate this Christmas season. Through Jesus Christ, Your Son, We pray. Amen.
