Prayer While Wrapping Gifts
Dear Lord, I am tired.
I sit here surrounded by ribbons and paper,
gifts and tags
and I struggle to feel the spirit of giving.
I can barely remember which gift is for whom
and at moments it all seems so far from your birth.
Help me to take this moment
to think of the many gifts you have given to me,
the many ways your grace has blessed my life.
Help me to remember that each gift
is a tiny mirror of the generosity
I see so clearly in your life
and of the many ways you shower me
with such lavish and undeserved love.
Let me sit here for just a moment
and feel that joy in my heart.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Amen.
