What a marvelous gift the Feast is.
It pictures abundance for all of mankind.
It pictures a time of worldwide peace,
which humanity seeks now, but cannot find.
It's a time to serve, a time to share,
a time to show one another we care.
And so we give these gifts to you,
being mindful of these days,
in the hope they add a little joy
as you keep God's Feast
and give Him praise.
Each gift expresses love,
each gift - designed with care,
each shows appreciation for all the gifts you share.
May you have a wonderful Feast.
May our prayers ascend with a single voice.
And wherever we are observing these days,
may we all learn to fear God and rejoice!
With
love,
Your
United Church of God Family
