December 6
“Experiencing Christ during such a busy time…” by Leslie Garcia
This is something that I find increasing harder each year. It feels like every year there is more and more to get done, more to buy, more places to go. It seems that it gets harder each year to just sit back and remember the true "reason for the season"…
As a family we have decided to make a few commitments that we will honor during December so that we do our part to remember the "reason for the season"….
Brian:
Makes a commitment to purchase a Christmas devotional for the family to read and participate in each day during the month of December.
Grace:
Makes a commitment that we will pray together as a family before bed each night in December.
Graham:
Makes a commitment to make a poster to hang in our home the month of December that says, "Jesus is the reason for the season" to remind us each day to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas.
Leslie;
I make a commitment to SLOW DOWN. Worry less about the cleanliness of the house, the things on my calendar, finding the perfect gift… and spend time with my family and friends celebrating the true reason we have this amazing season.
Ally:
Ally is going to read us a little something about Jesus each day that she is here with us.
Dear God, thank you for the giving us such an amazing season. Thank you for family and friends and our wonderful church. Please help us all to take a little bit of time each day to slow down and enjoy all the gifts you have given us.
Amen.
