{quotes}
The best is yet to come.
Keep calm and get your ho ho on.
Love the gift giver more than the gift itself.
Christmas is never over if you carry its spirit throughout the year.
Man is not the creature of circumstances. Circumstances are the creatures of man. – Benjamin Disraeli
A good life is not a series of big things, but an accumulation of small happy memories.
{blessings}
Peace Upon You
May you be blessed with the warmth of home, the good will of friends, the love of family, hope in your heart and God’s peace upon you.
Christmas Every Day
Christmas isn’t just a day, or a birthday celebration. It’s a spirit of joy. May all God’s children be blessed in the Christmas spirit today, tomorrow, and every day, happily ever after.
Will of God
The heart wants what the heart wants. But no one ever said the heart should always get its way. May you be blessed to get what God wants. This may be one of those times to ignore your own urges and succumb to the will of God.
Walk Nobly
It’s a door not a wall and it’s opening for you. May God bless you with grace and gait to walk nobly to your next opportunity.
Godly Grammar
If life were a sentence, your problem would be a comma – not a period. May you be blessed with Godly grammar as you continue to write your life story.
{prayers}
Eternal Peace
Loving God, We gather in celebration with hearts bursting in gratitude. You, who guides us in our faith, brings meaning to our days. You, who gifts us with family and friends, makes living a delight. You, who promises salvation, ensures an eternity of peace, love, and joy. Thank You

Passion
Dear God, provide me with a way to work on the things in life I am most passionate about. Let those efforts lead to financial security and personal reward. May my work be a help to others and an honor to You, my Lord and my provider. Amen
Family Harmony
Dear God, bring our family back together. Sweeten the bitterness we are now tasting. Soften the hearts of the stubborn. Let common sense prevail. Amen
Good, Kind, and Generous
For all those I have wronged – knowingly or unknowingly, I ask forgiveness. To every one I overlooked, or looked through, I pray that I have not harmed them. Lord help me to always be good, kind, and generous.
