A Christmas prayer

I decided to blog this because it's that time of year and my husband says, "what do you want for Christmas"? Of course he's meaning material things and I really can't think of anything I want or need because he'll get me anything at any time and it certainly doesn't have to be Christmas. He's a nice guy and has me thoroughly spoiled anyway. Did I ever tell you, he's really sweet? God gave me a good one.

I do have things I wish and pray for though. Here is that list and it's in very random order, as are my thoughts.
When I'm having chemo I look at all the chairs and think of all the people sitting in those chairs and the ones that have and will sit in those chairs. I pray that God will one day allow a cure for all cancers. I pray that those chairs will sit empty and gather dust. That the cancer victims and their families and friends will be out dancing in the streets and praising our glorious Savior for the cure. This is the hard part; I also think of all the faces of all the people over the past 4 and 1/2 yrs. that I met and seen that are no longer with us. I pray that their families feel the love of Christ wrapped all around them. Because I know it's there.

I pray for unity in God's family. Can you imagine what it would be like if all of Christ' family was truly one? Instead of picking at the little things that don't matter, we are united in the big things that do. We work as one unit for the glory of Christ. A unified body of Christ can accomplish anything. Abortion could be stopped. Families would be what God intended, one man and one woman raising a family to the glory of God. All children raised in a loving home with caring parents, two of them. Christians taking the truth to millions of people. The list goes on. UNITED we can do God's will. That picture is awe inspiring.

A very personal prayer; My children and their spouses, my precious, precious grandchildren all having Christ as their personal Savior. I pray that each one of them reaches out and finds Him and sees their great need for Him. I pray that Christ never lets up on them until they come to Him. Thankfully, some of them do know Him and their need for Him but some of them don't understand. Please Lord, open the eyes of their hearts. Give my children the wisdom they need to raise their families in these very troubling times. Lord I pray that each one of my grandchildren come to know and love You and accept You as their Savior.

Thank you for my husband. He's had to put up with a lot over the last few years especially and he never seems to lose patience with me. He's not afraid to take care of me and he's always gone with me to all the chemo and doctor's visits. That reminds me; Thank you for my doctors and nurses. For giving them the wisdom and knowledge in caring and treating this cancer. I pray that I've been a witness for You through all the times I've been with them.

Thank you for Jesus! He is the reason for this beautiful Christmas season. May we all seek Him and find Him this Christmas!

If anyone reads this, now it's your turn: what is your Christmas list?

By the way, I do like receiving material gifts. ha
