Hello my Compassion friends. Here is my Christmas letter for 2025. I focused on the star that the wise men followed to Jesus. Focusing on how Christ is the light of the world and how we reflect him in the light he gives us. May you have a blessed season and feel the love of God. Merry Christmas to all of you. As always, feel free to copy and use for your kids. God bless and be inspired. At the end of the post there’s a copy for Christmas letters for Sri Lanka and Bangladesh version.
Merry Christmas our beloved family! We love you so much and want to let you know how important you are to us! We pray you have a blessed day on Christmas and that you may feel the love of Christs shine upon your face. Talking about light This year I have been reflecting on the star the Wiseman followed in search of the baby Jesus.
A long time ago The Wiseman looked up to the sky and saw the bright shining star. In their hearts, they knew they had to follow it. They felt the calling of God to go into search of Jesus.
“After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star , they were overjoyed.” Matthew 2:9-10
Just like the wise men we can look to God for direction in all we do. They looked to the sky and followed Gods light. We to can look around ourselves and see Gods guiding direction. His light shines in our life even when we feel lost or in the dark. “A star will come out of Jacob; a scepter will rise out of Israel.” Numbers 24:17
God promised long ago long ago he would send us a savior. God loved us so much that He sent His one and only Son to live among us. To be born in a stable and among animals, hay and love. The star of Bethlehem was not just a spot in the sky it was a gift from God and a promise.
“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12
Not only was the star I promise it was a gift. Jesus was also a gift to us. A gift that lights our path and is free for all to see. His salvation is a light for our heart a guiding star to help us see the way.
“shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life.” Philippians 2:15
now, you have this light in you. You shine with Christ and our reflection of him. As you head into this Christmas season, remember your foundation and let Christ path guide you.
“I, Jesus… am the bright Morning Star.” Revelations 22:16
As you wake up this morning and you look to Christ our bright morning star. We pray that this Christmas season will uplift you. When you lean on Jesus and reflect his love, you are shining bright and people will see that light. Shine his kindness, love, hope, and salvation. Be a bright star for those in need, pain and are lost. As you reflect Jesus this season, we pray that you feel his love, guidance, and hope.
We love you and are praying for you. MerryChristmas

Merry Christmas, our beloved family!
We love you so much and want you to know how special you are to us! We pray that your Christmas is filled with joy, peace, and moments that make you smile. May you feel surrounded by warmth and love wherever you are.
This year, I’ve been thinking about the star that shone in the sky long ago — the one that guided the wise men on their journey. It was a beautiful light that helped them find something wonderful.
Sometimes, life feels dark or uncertain, but just like those travelers, we can look for light to guide us — the kind of light that shows us the way to hope, peace, and love.
Long ago, a promise was made that a light would shine for everyone, bringing comfort and joy to the world. That light still shines today — not just in the sky, but in our hearts when we share kindness and goodness with others.
Christmas reminds us that the most precious gifts don’t come in boxes or with ribbons. They come through love, peace, kindness, and caring for others. When we share those gifts, it’s like we’re shining our own little stars to help brighten someone else’s path.
Each of us carries a small light inside — a light that can bring hope and happiness to others. When we choose love, forgiveness, and kindness, that light shines brightly for all to see.
As you celebrate this Christmas season, remember that you are a light in this world. You make a difference just by sharing your smile, helping others, and spreading love wherever you go.
May your days be filled with hope, and may you always find the light to guide your way. We pray that you feel loved by the people around you — your family, teachers, and everyone at your Compassion center.
May you always feel safe, at peace, and surrounded by hope that refreshes your heart.
You are deeply loved, and we wish you a very Merry Christmas!
Love always
Mark and Laura
