refocus and delight

PREPARING MY HEART FOR CHRISTMAS. The celebration will be different for me this year-no family gathering, no candlelight service at church on Christmas Eve, and no parties. Even with fewer events, I felt the need to fervently focus on preparing my heart for Christmas with the pandemic looming over and dampening the mood. To prepare my heart for Christmas, I have added an advent calendar and guide from Pastor Rick's Daily Hope to my daily quiet time in the morning as well as advent bible plans from the YouVersion bible app in the evening. The message from the advent calendar guide resonated with me and thought I'd share it with all the "Martha's" out there, myself included.

How are you preparing your heart for Christmas? How are you accepting God's gift?
