Dear Family of Love,
I hope everyone had a wonderful Second day of Christmas, St. Stephen's Day, Boxing Day, and Self-Care Saturday! For a little fun for the 12 days of Christmas we are going to use the first part of the Christmas Carol and turn it into something meaningful to meditate upon. We will use list form for this.

Jesus who was born just like you and me.
A savior and redeemer loving me.
A loving God who lovingly takes care of me.
A ready made world wide family.
What is on your list?
On the Second Day of Christmas (my True Love) God Gave to me;
Two great commandments.

Time for our Second Day of Christmas Meditation and Prayers-
So let us meditate upon lines in bold. Let's take our time. Listen to your favorite Christmas Music and enjoy knowing that we are precious gifts and treasures God has made and that we are loved and not alone. After we take time to meditate on the above let us be at prayer.
WHEREVER GOD IS THAT IS HOME AND WE ARE ALWAYS GOD'S BELOVED CHILDREN AND FAMILY MEMBERS.
REMEMBER WHEREVER GOD IS THAT IS HOME AND WE ARE ALWAYS GOD'S BELOVED CHILDREN AND FAMILY MEMBERS.
WHEREVER WE ARE GOD IS AND GOD DWELLS WITHIN US, THROUGH US , BESIDE US, AND IN EVERY NOOK AND CRANNY!
SO THERE IS NO NEED TO FEEL ALONE! GOD IS WITH US, GOD KNOWS HOW WE FEEL GOD HAS GIVEN US PERMISSION TO SPEAK OUR OWN TRUTH TO POWER .
God we thank you for making our hearts your home. Help us to remember to keep our heart doors open to you.
God we pray for all our family members who are physically homeless tonight that they may find shelter from the cold. We pray for shelters to meet every homeless family member's need.
God we pray for all refugees who are far from their homes because of war, economic hardship, and political reasons. We pray that peace may prevail and that they may return home.
God we pray for all children who are seeking forever homes and in need of loving families.
God we pray for all women, men, and children who find themselves caught up in domestic violence. May they remember that violence and abuse are not the answers. We pray for safe-houses for those who need to find sanctuary and safety.
God we pray for all who are ill may they be healed of all their infirmities. We pray for all who are in hospitals and care facilities that they may if it your will for them tor return home.
God we pray for all who are traveling home from any celebration anywhere that they may be careful in automobile, train, car, and ferry. We pray for traveling mercies this holiday season.
