Live Fully Nourished - Merry Christmas!
A Christmas message, and A special Christmas prayer...
Welcome to this week’s installment of Live Fully Nourished. I’m Kymberley - the coach, cook, creator, and publisher of GfreeDeliciously.
Merry Christmas
Dear friend…
Amid today’s activities, I wanted to take a moment to wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and a happy holiday season, whatever you do or don’t celebrate.
I’m so grateful you’ve invited me into your inbox weekly, all year long. Your replies to some of my emails telling me about times you have made a recipe and how it made a difference in your life are also a great source of encouragement on my end. What a gift. I’m so happy and blessed that I can help you enjoy eating and gathering around your table with family and friends.
The holidays are a special time, and I try hard to encourage each of you as best I can every day of the year. Please know it’s good to have you as treasured readers and subscribers of my work. Also, know that I don’t take you for granted.
With warmest wishes for health, happiness, and good cheer,
-Kymberley
A special Christmas prayer…
Dear Heavenly Father,
As Christmas approaches, let us come together to celebrate the birth of your Son, Jesus Christ. We are reminded of the incredible story of his coming into the world, a biblical account that stands as a testament to your love, grace, and redemption.
We thank you for the humble stable in Bethlehem that welcomed Mary and Joseph, providing a place where Jesus could be born. May this remind us of the simplicity and humility of Jesus’ life and encourage us to find joy in the little things.
Lord God, we thank you for the shepherds whom angels visited. Messengers who proclaimed the good news of Jesus’ birth. Just as the shepherds responded to this incredible news with awe and faith, may our hearts be open to receiving your message of hope, peace, and salvation.
We thank you for the wise men who traveled far to find Jesus and offer their gifts. As they presented their treasures to the baby Jesus, may we, too, come before you with open hearts, offering our lives, talents, and resources in service to you and our fellow human beings.
Lord God, we thank you for Mary, who willingly accepted the role you entrusted to her - to be the mother of your Son. May we learn from her example of faithful obedience, surrender to your will, and be open to how you want to use us for your purposes.
We thank you for Joseph, who faithfully embraced his role as Jesus’ earthly father. May we also be willing to step into roles and responsibilities that you have called us to, even when they may be challenging or require sacrifice.
Dear Lord, as we celebrate Christmas, we ask for your presence to be with us. Fill our hearts with your love, peace, and joy. Help us to remember the true meaning of Christmas - the gift of Jesus, who came to redeem us to you and bring us eternal life.
In this season of giving, may we reflect your generosity by showing love and compassion to those in need. Guide each of us to be a shining light in our communities, bringing hope and encouragement to anyone struggling.
We pray for unity and harmony as we gather with family and friends. May our interactions be filled with love, understanding, patience, and forgiveness. Please help us to set aside our differences and truly embrace the spirit of Christmas.
Lord, we pray for people worldwide who are lonely, grieving, or facing difficulties this Christmas season. Comfort them and remind them of your presence. Bring healing to their hearts and peace to their minds.
Finally, Dear Lord, we are grateful for your never-ending love and faithfulness. Thank you for the greatest gift of all, Jesus Christ. It is in his name that we pray, Amen.
