A Christmas Message by the President of the United States of America
Christmas 2003
Glory to God in
the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Luke
2:14
As families and friends
gather to celebrate Christmas, we remember all the blessings that fill our
lives, beginning with the great blessing that came on a holy night in Bethlehem.
For Christians around the world, the birth of Jesus is a central religious
event; an example of God's profound love for humanity; and the pathway to hope
and to new life. Today, the
Christmas story still speaks to every
generation.
This holiday season, as we share in the spirit of giving and enjoy familiar Christmas traditions, we give thanks for the wonder of God's love and rededicate ourselves to helping those in need. We also pray for our brave men and women in uniform, many of whom will spend the holidays far from home. Their courage and dedication is helping keep us safe and extending freedom and peace. We are grateful for their service to our country, and for the support and sacrifice of their families.
Laura joins me in wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May the peace and goodwill of the season fill every heart and warm every home.
GEORGE W. BUSH
