Twelve Steps to a More Christ-Focused Christmas-Postedby Sandra Glahn on 15 Dec 2009
At what other time of year can we walk into the mall and hear music that directsus to worship Christ the Lord? Or stroll through business offices and seestrings of cards depicting nativity scenes? Let’s take advantage of theseasonal opportunities, keeping our focus on the reason for the season. Hereare some suggestions:
1.Read your Bible. Take a few minutes to plan out a Bible-reading schedule to carry you from now through Christmas with daily meditations on topics such asthe first advent, incarnation, virgin birth, and Davidic lineage of Jesus Christ. If you haven’t already done so, memorize the Christmas story in Luke 2.“And it came to pass…”
2.Pray. Make a list of the people in your life who are in physical and spiritual need. Pray for them. Regularly. Ask people how you can pray for them. Then follow through.
3.Correspond. When sending cards, remember the child you sponsor. He or she might like Christmas stickers and an explanation of the celebration—even if yourletter will arrive several months from now. And while you’re at it, send a card to: A Recovering American Soldier, c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center, 6900Georgia Avenue NW, Washington, D.C. 20307–5001.
