Friday Hugs-December 18, 2020

Just one week until Christmas, my friends! Good Morning, Happy Friday and Happy Weekend! It’s our third Friday of December and it’s our last weekend before Christmas. And I pray this day is a beautiful start to your weekend.

No matter what happens today, don’t let anyone bring you down. The Christmas Season is a time for our hearts to be filled with joy and happiness. Stay strong and keep believing in the true meaning of Christmas.

I’m sending Friday hugs your way. All hugs are special, but these are even more special since they are sent to begin your last weekend before Christmas with a smile.

I want to pray a short prayer for your day. As you pray this prayer with me, believe in miracles. This Season is all about believing in the miracle of Christmas.

Dear God, This Friday is a gift from You. It is so wonderful to wake up knowing that You’ve given me another day to live. You’ve brought us through another week and we are thankful.

We know that You hear our prayers. You may not answer us when we want You to, but You do answer when we need You to answer. We are so thankful we can go to You in prayer.

And we are so thankful for the many blessings You’ve placed in our lives. We are thankful for our families, our friends, our health and all the little things that make us happy.

Most of all, we are thankful that You sent Your Son, Jesus Christ, so that we may be forgiven of our sins and live eternally.

Lord, we know You are working things out for us. We know that You are protecting us through our health crisis and we know that You’ll continue to protect us.

Remove our fears, worries and anxieties and let us enjoy this Season as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. We want our trust to be so strong in You, that fear cannot enter our hearts.

Heal everyone who is sick and suffering. Heal everyone suffering with diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, cancer, and all other illnesses that we are dealing with.

For everyone who has lost loved ones, keep them close to Your heart, give them peace and comfort and let them know they are not alone.

Bless all of us economically and financially. Restore the financial health of our Country, our families and everyone in need. Restore jobs and provide opportunities for people who are out of work.

Be with us all today and this weekend and strengthen our faith in You. Renew our hope and recharge our soul.

In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Even though I am not with you physically, I pray that you feel this hug and the blessings sent with it. This hug is caring and meant especially for you. Friday Hugs!

Sending you blessings of love and gratitude from Sterrett, Alabama!
