Adopt a Family
Exposure: Read the passage about how we have been adopted as children of God through Christ. Many people adopt a family to help during Christmas. Find someone who needs a family this Christmas and make plans to be that family for them.
Exploration: What is the difference between adopting a family to help at Christmas and literally adopting a child into your family? What does this language communicate about God's commitment to loving us?
Expression: What rights and privileges do children of royalty have? What are some ways you don't fully live as if you were a child of God?
Experience: Find someone who has been adopted and talk to them about what it means in their life. Journal about what their experiences reveal to you about living as a child of God and loving others in that same way.

About this Plan

Includes reflection questions and action steps to center each day on Christ. Great for individuals, families, or small groups.
