Merry Christmas

I hope you enjoy the following Christmas prayer. This is one of my favorites to share at the holidays.




The Christmas Prayer


On the first day of Christmas I pray for you joy in abundance and laughter, for laughter cures our ills and joy makes our spirits soar.

On the second day of Christmas I pray for you a sigh when you need one, for a sigh clears the heart as a cough clears the throat, and with a sigh comes acceptance of what we cannot change.

On the third day of Christmas I pray for you tears when you need them, for tears clear the eyes to see the stars and cleanse the soul to let healing begin.

On the fourth day of Christmas I pray for you serenity, for fights and wars start in individual breasts and that is where they must end.

On the fifth day of Christmas I pray for you wisdom, for our priceless gift is the gift of choice- and we should use it well every day, in word and deed.

On the sixth day of Christmas I pray for you patience, for most troubles pass if we wait them out, and success comes with persistence.

On the seventh day of Christmas I pray for you courage, for there may be many pitfalls and dangers ahead and problems can only be solved when they are faced.

On the eighth day of Christmas I pray for you compassion, for we cannot help others until we understand them, and we cannot understand them until we walk in their shoes.

On the ninth day of Christmas I pray for you a willingness to work, for work turns dreams to reality – whether the dreams are ours or belong to those we can help.

On the tenth day of Christmas I pray for you unwavering faith, for faith shapes our morals and our destiny and draws us closer to God.

On the eleventh day of Christmas I pray for you a mind full of hope, for hope determines our attitudes, sets our goals and creates our ideals.

On the twelfth day of Christmas I pray for you a heart so full of love that every day you must give some away to those whose paths you cross.


May you and your family have a truly blessed Christmas season and may you receive a multitude of blessings in the New Year.

God bless,
Dana

Thanks for your support

Thanks to all who supported my re-election campaign. I am excited as we look toward the future of Kernersville. We have already gotten off to a great start with the approval of the Kernersville Hosptial! Please remember I am always willing to sit down and talk over concerns you might have regarding Kernersville. Thanks again for allowing me to serve as Alderman.
