We will return to our 12 Days of Christmas God Gave to Us/Me list making tomorrow. Let us remember to take care of ourselves so that we may take care of others.
Oh and Don't forget about The Fifth Day of Christmas Walk With Me On Our Journey Style
On the fifth day of Christmas our blogger gave to us 5 days of fun 4 Advent and Christmas keywords hope, joy, peace, and love, 3 balancing acts of body, mind, and spirit, 2 big hugs, a whole lot of love and blessings and a pretty rose picture just for being us.
Let us be at prayer for all our family members who are caregivers and those receiving care.
Gracious God you are the chief caregiver of us all be with all those who are caring for your children. Give them courage each day as they face the many challenges of caring for their loved ones.
Gracious God we thank you that we have been adopted as your children so that we may help care for the least of these and as we do so realize ever so fully that we are your Family of Love.
Gracious God we pray for our family members who are receiving care may they be able to accept help and learn to let go and let others lend a hand without feeling guilty our bearing a grudge.
Gracious God we pray that as caregivers and care receivers we may have empathy for one another.
Gracious God we pray for peace in the world and may we become caregivers who are also peacemakers.
Gracious God we pray for an end to violence of any kind may we start to care and have our heart homes tenderized and not hardened by these senseless acts.
Gracious God we pray our caregiver list and ask for prayers for ourselves and on behalf of our family members who have requested our prayers especially_____________________
Gracious God we continue to pray for all of our family members who are going through grief and pre-grieving, Those who are homeless and without shelter on these cold nights, all who are traveling, those who are healing from surgery, and all those who are afraid to ask for our love and prayer support.
We ask these our prayers in the name of Jesus who taught us how to care in words, deeds, and love Jesus we thank you for teaching us that you meant all means all and not some. That everyone was included in your saving embrace on the cross. That you continue to show us the right pathways in which to be caregivers on to another by the example of the Good Samaritan and the Woman with the Alabaster Jar. In Your most holy name. Amen.
