If We Give Up On Christmas?

In the wake of these December school shooting in Connecticut, USA, some are asking if Christmas should just be cancelled? Should we turn off the decorative lights associated with these year-end Holy Days?

I say, "Please don't cancel Christmas. And please don't turn off the lights, because right now our dark world needs all of the light it can get."

If we give up on Christmas, we give up on Faith, Hope and Love.
And we will sadly give in to hate, violence, and darkness.

Father God, thanks for giving to us Your Son and for giving through Him Your Peace that is not of this world, but is for this world.


 Grateful

Father God
We ask in the name of Jesus that You would wrap Your arms around the families of the innocent children of this shooting in Connecticut. Give them strength as they mourn this terrible tragedy.

Father I pray for your light to shine extra bright on all those effected, may they know the warmth that only you could give them. In the wake of this tragedy we need as much CHRISTmas as we can get!
