As we join "Together in Prayer Every Monday at Noon," this month our minds and hearts will revolve around the hustle and bustle of Christmas. In the midst of all our rushing let us remember and joyfully celebrate "the reason for the season," the birth of God's Son, Jesus Christ. All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" -- which means, "God with us." Matthew 1:22-23 (NIV). Heavenly Father, You are an awesome and holy God. Lord, thank You for the greatest gift of all, Your Son, Jesus Christ! Thank you for the miracle of the virgin birth that fulfilled the wonder of the cross. Lord, help me to keep the Spirit of Christmas alive in my heart and empower me to boldly share it with others in my daily walk with you. Lord, hear my prayer. Continue to bless our LWML leaders, all the members of the LWML, and the work of our missions and our missionaries. Enable the activities of the LWML, as well as the work of our mites in funding grants, to bring glory to Your Name. Let all know the "reason for the season," the birth of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Bring Your peace and joy to the world. In His Name, Amen. ----------------------- LWML Unveils New Web Site ----------------------- Good Searches Start with GoodSearch ----------------------- Making Plans for the New Year Sioux Falls boasts an ideal setting to experience our theme.
