A Prayer for December:

As we enter this season of festivities and merriment we wish to remember those who are poor and struggling, feeling alone and lonely, or grieving the loss of loved ones.

” Peace and warmth, food, kindnesses, love, and comfort be brought to them. This is my prayer, this is my hope. I let it be. Amen.” ~ Lady Dawnecia Palmer
