Prayers for Christmas: Opportunity and Service
Jesus tells us in today’s Gospel, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.” (Matthew 9: 36-38).
FMS missioner Joel Vaughn expresses gratitude for being one of these laborers in his prayer for Christmas.
“This Christmas, I am thankful for opportunities to serve other people.
My prayer for the holiday season and the New Year is that a universal awareness of sufficiency will promote moderate use and equal sharing of the earth’s bounty for all of its inhabitants.”
