Dear God,

Christmas is never over December 26.  It continues bringing it own kind of joy.

I still revel over the gift given me for Christmas.  A cow, a living pregnant cow that will be given to a very poor farmer in Kenya.  What joy a small village will experience when this mother cow gives birth and produces milk for hungry children.

The afterglow of Christmas reminds me just how your spirit fills us all year long.  We do not have to wait for a special day to make that happen.  You welcome us into the new day with hope, light, and comfort.  You tuck us into bed each night with the promise of your sustaining presence.  Your light shines bright and no matter the condition or situation, it warms our heart and feeds our soul.

On this day after, I am joyous that it is not the day after your love was expressed.  It is yet another day of Christmas.

Holy God,
thank you
for the blessing
of your
wondrous presence.
Thank you
for your
kind compassion.
Thank you
for hope
that leads us
into each
new day.

Love, Andrea
