One of the most famous (or infamous) Christmas songs is "All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth." Sadly, if that's all you want, that may be all you'll get. I don't know about you, but I want a lot more than some teeth:
That's what I want for Christmas. And my heavenly Father says: "Is that all?"
| PRAYER: | Father, I'm sorry for asking and expecting too little of You this Christmas. During this Advent, may I come to believe in the depth, width, breadth, and height of Your love (Eph 3:18-19). |
| PROMISE: | "He will give rain for the seed that you sow in the ground, and the wheat that the soil produces will be rich and abundant." –Is 30:23 |
| PRAISE: | St. Francis Xavier was shot, was threatened by wild animals and suffered loneliness and isolation. Yet he persevered in his mission and brought the good news of Jesus to hundreds of thousands of people in the Far East. |
