Christmas Prayer 18--Happy Birthday, VP!

In honor of my son's birthday, I want to pass along this Birthday Cake idea to you. It was given to us at our Sunday School class. In his book, The Purpose of Christmas, Rick Warren suggests holding a birthday party for Jesus. Someone in the class then gave all of a copy of this Happy Birthday, Jesus, Cake
Chocolate cake: represents our sin (Romans 3:23)
White Frosting: represents Christ's purity; Christ cleansing us from our sins(Romans 5:8-9)
12 Red Candles: Jesus is our Savior all 12 months of the year (John 10:10)
Red is for His Blood shed for us.
Star: Wise men followed the star & came to worship (Proverbs 3:5-6)
Angel: represents the bearer of glad tidings (Luke 2:9-14)
Evergreens: Christ is our Savior forever (John 14:1-3)


2 Corinthians 5:20(click to read verse) Thursday's Prayer:
Lord, I will never forget...

I love this translation of this verse. I realize I am blogging to myself, but maybe not, maybe I am doing it with God! How awesome He is. My prayer is that I will not forget that as we travel over the holidays. So, that I might be someone's blessing.
