Advent

We are smack dab in the middle of Advent. There is only one more Sunday to come before Christmas and the countdown is on! Advent is the time we have to prepare for the coming of Christ in Bethlehem in a manger as well as preparing our lives for Christ to enter our lives today. At St. Luke's UMC Midland we have been studying the book The Journey by Adam Hamilton. It is a wonderful look at the days leading up to the birth of Christ and allows us to look more closely at the lives of Mary, Joseph and Elizabeth as we head toward Bethlehem. The book also allows us to look more closely at our own lives in light of the season and the anticipation of Christ entering our lives today. How are you experiencing Christ coming into your life this Advent and Christmas season? How are you providing room for Jesus to be a part of your life? How will you spend Christmas this year? How will Christmas be different for you this year? My hope for you is to become aware of those around you who need to know they are heard and how you can step into the Christmas story...even today! I'm Just Sayin....make this Christmas better by taking the focus off of you and putting it on Christ!
