Scripture: Luke 2:8-14
Christmas for us is a time of joy and peace. There is joy in our relationships and being around each other. There is joy we experience in Jesus’s birth. All around us there is joy to be found and shared in the sights and sounds of our celebrations.
“I experience God’s joy at Christmas when my family comes together to celebrate the birth of God’s son, Jesus.” – Deklan
“I saw joy in other people at Camp Cheerio when they were doing fun stuff with others. I saw joy at church when everybody is smiling and laughing with others. I feel God’s presence with my church family.” – Kellan
Where might you be able to feel joyful today? What would it be like to become overwhelmed with God’s love and joy?
Please pray for God’s love and joy to change how you experience Christmas this year.
