Publisher's Synopsis
Do you wonder if this Christmas will fly past without making time to celebrate its true meaning? That happens too easily. We have to become intentional when it comes to recognizing how Christmas was God's idea before it was humankind's. What if this year, we truly welcomed Christmas Day because we had fully prepared our hearts to celebrate? What if we remembered the thoughts we had when we let our minds contemplate Mary's preparation to birth God's Son? What if somehow we more completely felt Joseph's uncomfortableness at marrying a young woman who was with child? What if our knees knelt with the shepherds or journeyed the long stretch across the desert with the wise men who realized the King of Kings had arrived in humility? What if we met Christmas morning with more humility? This, and more, await readers in this Advent devotional. This Advent devotional booklet helps readers set aside a few minutes each day in the four weeks prior to Christmas to reflect upon how the Child in the manger changes lives, including ours, even though we're centuries past Bethlehem's starry night. In addition to directing us to Biblical passages, this daily Advent guide helps us discover how those verses can enrich not only the way we'll celebrate this Christmas season, but live our lives for God's glory. Why not pour yourself a cup of coffee, open your Bible, and let God's Word prepare your heart to celebrate Christmas, the event when God demonstrated His love for you?
