PRAYER
Thank you, God, for the good news of a Savior born into the world. Forgive my mild reception. I've heard all of this so many times that I have allowed myself to get worn down by familiarity. Guide me back to the manger so that I can see the wonder of it all with fresh eyes. I'm going to look again. Amen.
