A prayer to pray now
Father, the day after Christmas is a strange one. The wrapping paper is in the trash. You have given me good things, even on this quiet day. Open my eyes to a quiet kind of gladness today. The day after a big day is its own gift. I do not have to be sad that the noise is gone. Quiet is a different kind of celebration, and You are in the quiet just as much. Amen.
