                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Dr. Dan C. Cummins, Peoples Church, Jacksonville, Texas, 
offered the following prayer:
  Heavenly Father, Creator of Heaven and Earth, Redeemer and Sustainer 
of Life, this season of Hanukkah and Christmas may we never forget: 
``Little is much when God is in it.''
  A little oil in the Temple Menorah should not have lasted 8 days, but 
it did. A widow's small jars of oil and flour should not have lasted 
almost 3 years, but they did. They did because You, Father, were in it, 
in the Menorah, in the jars.
  The little town of Bethlehem was not supposed to bring forth a King, 
but it did. A young virgin could not give birth to the Son of God, but 
she did. They did because You, Father, were in it, in a village, in a 
virgin.
  Father, when we feel so little, remind us again that we can do the 
impossible when God is in it, when God is in us.
  In Jesus' name, Amen.
