And what you really need for Christmas is rest.
And the ability to focus on the reason for the season.
It isn’t your family.
It isn’t their gifts.
It isn’t perfectly crafted Christmas cookies.
It’s Christ.
Several years ago I wrote a daily devotional for our church. The purpose was to give families a way to worship together every day. You can find links to 25 daily devotions below or you can download
A Christmas Call to Worship: Daily Devotions for the Month of December
Whichever way you read it, I hope this will encourage you and your family this month. The devotions are brief and all include suggestions for worshipping with your family in creative ways.
You can either start reading on December 1 and finish Christmas Day or start on December 7 and read the final devotion on New Year’s Day (which was originally what our church did). Of course, if you download A Christmas Call to Worship: Daily Devotions for the Month of December
