Christmas Week Begins
Christmas is not as much about opening our presents as opening our hearts. (Janice Maeditere, author)
It would be difficult for children to understand this idea because they’ve been waiting for Santa for weeks. But as they grow, they can learn that the giving of our affection and friendship is more lasting than presents. And then, as they begin to learn the true story of Christmas, they will recognize God’s great gift and how it will transform their own understanding of love.
Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift! (2 Corinthians 9:15)
