Prosperity Prayer I have Faith in God as my instant, constant abundant supply, and supplier. I have Faith in God to open ways when to the human sense there is no way. I have Faith in God to guide me in all my ways, and my health, happiness and prosperity are assured.

Thank you, God for your abundant good, now flowing forth to meet my every need.

Lessons

Carrying the Christmas Spirit Forward can help us if we are willing to:

#1 Reflect on our holiday experience. Recalling our moments of Grace.

#2 View this time as a beginning. Rather than the end of a season.

#3 Be inspired by our reflections.

Allow our Christ light to shine through!

#4 Let Christmas become a way of life. A daily practice of faith, hope, and love.

Affirmation I AM Carrying the Christmas Spirit Forward!

Quote May the real spirit of Christmas – the giving of self to life – enter and abide in you now and through all time. Ernest Holmes
