“On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.” Matthew 2:11
Thank you Father, that during the Christmas season, many open their hearts and wallets to give gifts to one another and to the poor. And thank you that you give us all things out of your goodness and love.
We pray that you would reveal your presence in the midst of the stores and shopping centers of our city. Let giving, loving, and serving come to the forefront of people’s minds as they are in the stores. May people bless the retail workers and the workers bless their customers.
