It's The Praise
I heard a prayer today that was cool:
"Thank you Lord for the holiday season and the community it brings."
I love that attitude. I love the community it speaks of. That fellowship. That love. That feeling of really just enjoying people. I've heard it said that angels marvel at us humans -- trophies of grace we are called. That love and passion that we have for one another. It seems so eternal. It makes perfect sense that the only thing we can "take" with us to Heaven is our relationships. I love the way that prayer saw past all the commercial trappings and the finicky and inconvenient things that can make on cynical during this holiday season. This prayer saw past that, ignored that, and put that cynicism in its place.
I love that person, and I love that prayer.
