December 25 – Christmas Day: The Light of Christmas – Love, Joy, Peace, and Hope Fulfilled

 

"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men." – Luke 2:14

Dear Readers,

The sun had just risen on Christmas morning, and Ivanka stood at the window, gazing at the world outside. The snow had fallen gently overnight, covering the earth in a blanket of white. Inside, the house was filled with the laughter of children and the warmth of togetherness.

As she watched her family gather around the Christmas tree, Ivanka reflected on what Christmas truly meant. It was a celebration of love, joy, peace, and hope the light of Christ that shone brightly into the world, fulfilling all that had been promised.

On this day, she felt the weight of those promises lift from her shoulders. She had known struggle, but now, in the presence of her loved ones, she felt at peace. Love had come to her, just as it had come to the world that first Christmas night.

Ivanka said a prayer of thanks: “Thank you for the love that surrounds me, for the joy of this day, for the peace that fills my heart, and for the hope that guides me forward.”

December 25 – Christmas Day

The Light of Christmas – Love, Joy, Peace, and Hope Fulfilled

Poem: 

On this holy, sacred day,

Love is born, a light to stay.

A child in a manger, small and bright,

A promise kept a beacon of light.

Hope, wrapped in swaddling clothes,

Peace in the hearts where His love flows.

The joy that echoes, pure and deep,

In every soul, in those who weep.

Angels sing of glory high,

As stars align in the midnight sky.

God with us, Emmanuel, near,

A love so vast, so clear, so dear.

Celebrate the gift of peace,

The love that never fades, but will never cease.

For on this day, hearts are made whole,

In the light of Christ, in the hope of the soul.

Jacob M

Prayer:

Lord Jesus,

On this Christmas Day, we celebrate Your arrival as the embodiment of love, joy, peace, and hope. May Your light shine brightly in our hearts and guide us to share these gifts with the world. Help us to live in the fullness of Your presence, spreading love and kindness to all.

Amen.

Merry Christmas…
