My Christmas Prayer

This is a layout I did for Graphic 45. It is a wall hanging with a Christmas Prayer.

I wanted to make something that reminds us what Christmas is really all about.

I chose a Prayer by Robert Lousi Stevenson

Loving Father,

Help us remember the birth of Jesus that we may share in the song of the angles,

the gladness of the shepherds,and worship of the wise men.

Close the door of hate and open the door of love all over the world.

Let kindness come with every gift,

and good desires with every greeting.

Deliver us from evil by the blessing which Christ brings,

and teach us to be merry with clear hearts.

May the Christmas morning made us happy to be thy children, and Christmas evening bring us to our beds with grateful thoughts, forgiving and forgiven, for Jesus' sake

Amen.
