Christmas is a
beautiful and joyous time
of the year,
but many people are unable
to rejoice the season--
some are alone,
some are grieving,
while others are
enduring some hardship
or illness.
But the little king
who was born in a manger
long ago,
is the giver of hope,
and He can restore
and heal those
who open their hearts
to Him this Christmas.

After all, Christmas is
all about miracles,
and the gifts of light and renewal
that Jesus gave mankind.
