“The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.
We observed his glory, the glory as the
one and only Son from the Father,
full of grace and truth.”
—John 1:14 ESV

A Time to Think … “At this Christmas when Christ comes, will He find a warm heart? Mark the season of Advent by loving and serving the others with God’s own love and concern.”  ―Mother Teresa

A Time to Act … What warms your heart this Christmas…or rather, what would warm your heart this Christmas? If you’re trying to answer that, start first with reaching out to someone, join a community project to help those in need, help a local food bank…there is so much that can warm your heart when you step up and warm another’s heart!

A Time to Pray… O God, there are times I think Christmas is such an overload of hurry-scurry-busyness just to have the ‘perfect Christmas’. Help me to realize the only thing perfect about Christmas is Jesus, your gift to the world. Fill me anew with a spirit of hope and joy, and a new resolve to share this gift to those who need to hear of His mercy, grace, and unending love. It is in your strength I can do this, AMEN.
