A Christmas List with a Twist

When I was a kid, I would engage in the tradition passed down from generation to generation of preparing a Christmas list for Santa of things I wanted. I long ago ceased that practice, but think maybe it’s time to embrace it again – with a twist. The twist is that my list won’t be filled with stuff I want. Rather, it will contain those things I pray others will receive. Prayers for healing for those who are ill. Prayers of hope for those who despair. Prayers for wholeness for those whose lives are broken. And prayers for all that they will come to know the Lord Jesus like they have never known him before. I wonder what might happen if you were to create your own Christmas list of prayers for others. While I’m not certain about the outcome, I know this. Life would change for a lot of people. And it would change for the better.
