Dear God, This Christmas Season, Please _____.

[Grogu]

Just banged this out today. It is my sincere prayer, for every single day this coming year. I hope you enjoy:

Dear God, This Christmas Season, Please _____.

Let me embrace and radiate kindness, always remembering that everyone I meet on Earth has something positive to teach; even the most negative individuals have moments of clarity. Help me to see to see through the smoke and mirrors.

Let me be reminded that I am only seeing the cover of the book, regarding all I come into contact with. Everyone has a story; please let me not judge only the tip of the iceberg.

Let me see the good in every situation, every person I cross paths with, every day that goes by. After all, I have a choice - to see the beauty around me or focus on the dirty window or lens of the camera.

Let me remember to always count my blessings. As an attitude of gratitude is just as important to my “diet” as healthy fruits and vegetables, I don’t ever want to take anything for granted - especially my loved ones.

Let me be a channel of peace, to all I meet. For it is when I am working hardest to give to those in need what I most desire for myself, that I receive what I am truly searching for.

Let me not take myself or others too seriously. A keen sense of humor has a profound way of easing the burden of life. I promise, God, to always keep laughing and smiling - even when things look grim. For, I want it said at my funeral that “He laughed his way through life and to the grave. He was a truly happy man and wasted no time whatsoever on the small stuff. Everyone should strive for that ideal.”

Merry Christmas to all who read this.

Amen (and thanks for reading).

Can't argue with that for the most part.....I guess.

I do, however, like living by the feud on evil leftist dems.

We'd all do well to get on bended knee and pray that prayer.

 

[Votto]

Your prayer could be a little more generic like this

Dear God in heaven, help me with........you know, the thing so I can do the thing...........well.........anyway.

Puts me to mind of a song:

 

[Thunk]

Dear God, this Christmas season please help those who need it!

You've given me so much already I would feel ashamed to ask for anything more. So I don't want to waste Your time while You could be helping others.

And thankYou for all You've given me...I didn't deserve it...But I am grateful!

Oh, I understand the last. I can't stand the crazy MAGA farts, except for a few.

I'm content to enjoy the Holidays without "radiating kindness" that can get you killed or scammed or assaulted by the angry lefties that are still disappointed by the election and encouraged to overthrow the government.

Certainly, there are situations when kicking ass is one’s only option. Like, when a lawyer is on the verge of exposing a guilty party, under cross examination in court. Or, when a police officer faces an armed, out of control perp or terrorist. There is, in other words, a time and place for everything - like that wise Ecclesiastes verse says.

I apologize for not making that clear. Thanks for your well needed feedback.

Merry Christmas and stay safe.
