This Christmas, take time to remember the real significance of the season. I know this is a common theme at many churches during the Christmas season. The message to "slow down". This message in itself can get lost in all the busyness and festivities, but I know I need this reminder. Every year.
I came across two resources that can help. The first is a scripture reading plan for the month of December. I love devotionals, but sometimes I just want the straight Word. So feel free to take a look at that. And I also found another Advent Calendar that has a short snippet of scripture, and then an activity to do that day to help you take "Christmas to the streets" :). There's a few things that don't apply to us or wouldn't be something I would have written, but overall, it's a good reminder to put others first each day. For instance on December first it says,
December 1: "A YOUNG COUPLE, MARY AND JOSEPH, GET ENGAGED."
Activity: Give up your spot in line. (They’ll be so thankful!)
Put these two resources together, and I'm sure it will help you keep the main thing, the main thing.
Merry Christmas!
