Build Your Christmas Around the Manger
FREE Devotional-Style Workbook for Women Who Want Less “Busy” and More Jesus this Christmas
Christmas is a celebration of Jesus.
But sometimes, gift-giving, decorating, baking, and gathering family compete to be stars of the show.
When that happens, these good things can stomp out our joy, and distract us from the hope and peace Jesus is giving us.
Luke 2:10-11 calls to us:
…BEHOLD, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ Jesus the Lord.
Want to celebrate more of that this Christmas ? Then here’s a tool to help you plan AND pray!
