Lord God,
During this Advent season, help us to
remember why we buy gifts for others.
We are commemorating the greatest gift ever -
when You sent Your Son, Jesus, into this world.
You showed Your immense love for us
through Jesus' life, death and resurrection.
No thank-you note could ever express
our joy and appreciation for this gift.
We pray that our lives would be a testament
to our thankfulness, and would help bring
others to You to receive the gift of salvation
through our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ,
in whose name we pray.
Amen.
