...that you may declare
the wonderful deeds of Him
who called you out of darkness
    into His marvelous light.
Once you were no people,
but now
     you are God's people;
once you had not received mercy
but now
     you have received mercy.

                  1 Peter 2. 9-10

(Live that way.
God has changed you.
May others say this holiday,
"Wow, what happened to her?"
"Wow, he is a different person!"
And that would be
      His redeeming grace in you.)
