Just Wishin’ and Hopin’ and Prayin’
Just Wishin’ and Hopin’ and Prayin’
Almost Christmas. Some things to wish and hope and pray for:
A little more tolerance, a little more charity, a little more compassion.
A little less greed, a little less envy, a little less anger.
More peace signs, fewer acts of violence.
More gifting, less crime.
More jobs, less unemployment.
More abundance, less hunger.
Less lambast, less politics, fewer speeches.
More democracy, less dictatorship.
More cooperation, less confrontation
Less of the spirit of Santa.
More of the spirit of Christ.
More relaxation, restfulness, mindfulness and meditation.
Less stress.
Many happy moments with the family,
Fewer family arguments.
Any miracle at all.
Safety for our loved ones who will travel or who will be drinking and driving.

















Great list. Definitely something for us all to hope and pray for. The only one I might disagree with is the spirit of santa. I think the spirit of santa is actually more inline with the spirit of christ. It’s the retail industry that has turned the holiday into a mass marketing tool. The original spirit of santa is about love and giving. Not necessarily about buying gifts and spending buttloads of money. If you strip the materialism from it, Santa is a pretty good guy.
