Lord, as the body of Christ gathers together to remember the birth of our Lord and Savior, we remember those who may not have the opportunity to do so for a variety of reasons. Our sister Michelle is one such person. Lord on this day and the days to come.. we ask that You would cover her with Your Love .. and warm her with Your Holy Spirit. Whisper to Her that it was for today that You sent Your son... and she would know that You love her that much. Remember our other brothers and sisters who either can't be with family or have no earthly family to celebrate with. Lord my heart goes out to those people as this is sometimes a lonely time of year. Let this holiday and others to come be a time where You give an extra portion of Your spirit of love, care.. and warmth. I know there are things that I just don'thave the words for .. that the Lord understands.. and for that I am grateful. Lord respond to unspoken thoughts and feelings that may not be articulated here by our sister. In Jesus name, we pray amen.
