A Christmas Enthusiast Prayer

[mira]

As I untangle strings of Christmas lights, Lord help me to remember that I do this first to honor You. Never let me get so prideful of my display that I fail to see the wonders in the eyes of a child or the joy on the faces of those who are still children at heart. Never let me forget that my total effort is to make Christmas memories, bring cheer and to slow down the pace of a hectic season if only for a moment. And Lord, someday when I meet you face to face, may I hear you say:

"When you made My people smile, you made Me smile."

Thank you! I am honored that you want to use my prayer on you websites. I work in a hospital and there is a poster in a hall I use frequently that has the verse from Matthew 25:40 'and the King will answer and say to them " Assureedly, I say to you , inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethern, you did it unto Me." (NKV) Jesus is speaking earlier in this passage of ministering to others and personlay I feel that includes making people happy. The prayer just kind of fell into place one day in just a few minutes when I got back to my desk after walking by the poster.
