The Journey

Luke 2:8-20

Scripture for December 27

The gifts have been opened and all that’s left of the holiday meal are leftovers. Another Christmas has come and gone. Yet the Scripture this week tells us more about the birth of the Christ Child Aren’t we going on to other things? That’s how we typically “do” Christmas, isn’t it? The day after Christmas we begin to think about the New Year and putting all the Christmas decorations away. Do we also put away that miracle birth and all that it means to us and for us? Let’s keep thinking about the birth of the Christ Child and how it is important to us every day of the year….

Oh God, I admit it’s easy to put Christ away when I am busy with so many other things. Please help me to focus on what’s really important. Amen.

The Journey
Luke 2:1-7
Scripture for December 20

We light the fourth Advent candle this Sunday, the candle of love. Love is a word that is so difficult to define; yet we know it when we experience it. We know how we love our families, our friends and our God. We know that God sent Jesus to this earth to show us how much God loves us. Who do you know that needs God’s love this Christmas season? God invites each one of us to be that love in the world during Advent and every day of the year. Who needs you to be God’s love today? And tomorrow?

Well God, I’m really busy as it gets closer and closer to Christmas and I know I meet people every day that need to know Your love. Give me Your eyes to see them and Your heart to show them Your love. Amen.

Luke 1:39-45

Scripture for December 13

We light the third Advent candle this Sunday and it represents joy. Joy is that feeling way down deep inside of us, almost like we’re smiling from the inside out. It lifts us up and we want to share it with others. What brings you deep down joy this holiday season? How can you share that joy with others? Remember that song, “I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart. Where? Down in my heart.” Pass it on…

Dear God,

Help me to have that deep down joy, even in the busyness of this Christmas season. Open the eyes of my heart so I notice people so I can share the joy of Christ with them. Amen.
