Reflect: Every year, thousands of people spend the month of December running around like maniacs, frantically shopping, making appearances at parties, baking endlessly, and entertaining family and friends for days on end. For some, this is what Christmas is all about. The activities and the lights and the gifts and the food. But for others, there is a gnawing sense of dissatisfaction at the end of the season. It's like there was something missing...was it a gift we forgot to buy? a cookie we forgot to bake? a relative we forgot to send a Christmas card to?
Read: Listen to Linus as he reads the Christmas story out loud.
Heart Check: If we remove all the trappings and hype and lights and even the traditions, would we truly find Jesus at the center of our celebrations?
Pray: God, please help me to make the birth of Your Son, Jesus, the Main Event. Thank You for the simplicity of this most perfect Gift. I pray that this Christmas season, I would have opportunities to share the true meaning of Christmas with others.
