CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
December 1, 2017
Prayer: Oh Lord, please help us keep Your perspective in all we do. Please help us to have lots of fun celebrating the awesome gift of Your only Son and let us not get bogged down with the unimportant. Thank You. Amen.
Scripture: Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who do not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17 NIV
I can remember when I was teaching, how December was hectic. School programs, making gifts for parents, decorating, (and the frustration of having to making sure there weren’t any “Christian” decorations being used) parties, etc.
When was I ever going to get ready for Christmas for my family, especially the shopping?
I had to realize that this is the most beautiful time of the year and that God has already given us the only perfect gift, His Son, Jesus. Man has made Christmas crazy and that was not what the Lord intended.
Plan ahead, keep focused on the true reason for this season and pray for God’s help with all the other stuff. How can each of us carryout the attributes of having true Christmas spirit in our daily environment (classroom, hallways, meetings, cafeteria, office, etc.)?
