Preparing Our Hearts for ChristmasSample

For many today, the birth of a baby means a hospital bed surrounded by items for comfort and safety. When we think about the birth of Jesus, we are reminded of his humble beginning, with none of the resources we’re accustomed to.

Christ’s humble birth invites us to embrace humility in our own lives. As we prepare for Christmas, we should find ways to set aside the hustle and bustle of the season and reflect the selflessness of Christ as we invite others to celebrate his birth.

Do you find it difficult to avoid the hustle and bustle of this season?

Who is someone you can invite to celebrate Christmas with you this year?

Prayer: Dear God, please be with me as I approach this season with humility. Help me to serve others as you did and invite them to learn more about you. Amen.
