I pray that people can get over being worried about offending people when they should worry about offending God. I hope that we can all continue to spread the word to the lost and put our trust into God to give us what to say and do.

I pray that particularly poor people can be relieved of the burdens of christmas. And that people dont take offence of the truth.
1 After Jesus had been born in Beth´le·hem of Ju·de´a in the days of Herod the king, look!
astrologers from eastern parts came to Jerusalem,
2 saying: Where is the one born king of the Jews? For we saw his star [when we were]
in the east, and we have come to do him obeisance.
3 At hearing this King Herod was agitated, and all Jerusalem along with him;
4 and on gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people he began to inquire
of them where the Christ was to be born.
5 They said to him: In Beth´le·hem of Ju·de´a; for this is how it has been written through the
prophet,
6 `And you, O Beth´le·hem of the land of Judah, are by no means the most insignificant [city]
among the governors of Judah; for out of you will come forth a governing one,
who will shepherd my people, Israel.'
7 Then Herod secretly summoned the astrologers and carefully ascertained from them the time
of the star's appearing;
8 and, when sending them to Beth´le·hem, he said: Go make a careful search for the young child,
and when YOU have found it report back to me, that I too may go and do it obeisance.
9 When they had heard the king, they went their way; and, look! the star they had seen
[when they were] in the east went ahead of them, until it came to a stop above where
the young child was.
10 On seeing the star they rejoiced very much indeed.
11 And when they went into the house
they saw the young child with Mary its mother, and, falling down, they did obeisance to it.
They also opened their treasures and presented it with gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.
12 However, because they were given divine warning in a dream not to return to Herod,
they withdrew to their country by another way.
16 Then Herod, seeing he had been outwitted by the astrologers, fell into a great rage,
and he sent out and had all the boys in Beth´le·hem and in all its districts done away with,
from two years of age and under, according to the time that he had carefully ascertained
from the astrologers.
17 Then that was fulfilled which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet,
saying:
18 A voice was heard in Ra´mah, weeping and much wailing; it was Rachel weeping for her children,
and she was unwilling to take comfort, because they are no more.
Matthew 2:1-18
