Blessing for Christmas Season

Somehow not only for Christmas
But all the long year through,
The joy that you give to others
Is the joy that comes back to you.

And the more you spend in blessing
The poor and lonely and sad,
The more of your heart's possessing
Returns to make you glad.

Author of this Blessing
John Greenleaf Whittier

Christmas Eve Prayer

Give us, O God, the vision which can see Your love in the world in spite of human failure.
Give us the faith to trust Your goodness in spite of our ignorance and weakness.
Give us the knowledge that we may continue to pray with understanding hearts.
And show us what each one of us can do to set forward the coming of the day of universal peace.

Frank Borman

This is a really beautiful Friendship Blessing

A Christmas Blessing

I look beyond ice frosted panes
to see the quiet whispering,
of golden leaves, abandoning,
so tired trees may rest til Spring.

A humble sadness enters me,
as doldrums wantonly conspire
to lay false claim to my desire,
and challenge what may yet transpire.

At first it all seems tragedy,
just wasted dreams and emptiness,
impassioning great loneliness,
replacing joy with bitterness.

But just when I sense all is lost,
when sorrows seem the only way,
and tears forever here to stay,
a Christmas song begins to play!

So pure the sound of choral voice
and melody, I've known so long,
and though the grip of sadness strong
I cannot help but sing along.

And slowly then, as troubles melt,
as raging shadows run from me,
I raise my grateful eyes to see
my friends, around a Christmas tree!

Come gather ye, sweet spirits fine,
to banish thoughts that sorrow sends,
and when all living memory ends,
my life was blessed with you -
my friends.

Work of Christmas Begins

"When the song of the angels is stilled,
when the star in the sky is gone,
when the kings and princes are home,
when the shepherds are back with the flocks,
then the work of Christmas begins:
to find the lost,
to heal those broken in spirit,
to feed the hungry,
to release the oppressed,
to rebuild the nations,
to bring peace among all peoples,
to make a little music with the heart�

And to radiate the Light of Christ,
every day, in every way, in all that we do and in all that we say.
Then the work of Christmas begins.

For a feel Good Movie at Christmas Time check out the
Christmas Blessing Movie or also known as " Miracle of the Heart "
you can find the Blessing Christmas DVD
In The Christmas Shoes, the movie preceding this one, young Nathan Andrews was a child who lost his mother to cancer. Now his deepest wish is to become a doctor. When a stranger named Robert gave him the money to buy his mother a pair of shoes for her last Christmas gift , both Robert and Nathan learned the deepest lessons of love and giving. In this Christmas Blessing DVD sequel Nathan is now a medical student learning things about faith, blessings, and sacrifice. Together, they will help guide Nathan through the darkest period in his life. The Christmas Blessing is an inspiring about hope existing in the darkest places, and love is always the greatest gift of all.

A Favourite christmas movie of mine is " Pay It Forward " it puts the tradition of blessings from the heart in a format that may let you understand the whole interconnectedness of humanity itself.
