One tradition that we started last year is that we pray for each family/person as we receive Christmas cards in the mail. Every year we receive many cards from family and friends and it always fun to see how children have grown in the last year, and to read about what exciting things have taken place in their lives.
So last year we decided as we receive those cards, we will pray over each family’s card. During our usual morning prayer time, we will take an extra time to pray for the person or family who sent the card. How wonderful after the season is over, we will have prayed for around 100 people!
What a simple, but easy way to remember loved ones in our prayers, especially those we may not see very often.
It is my prayer each day, that all those who do not know life with Christ, would come to know Him. He is the best gift that I have received, and I only want every single one of my loved ones to have that free gift.
