“When they saw the star, they were overjoyed.” Matthew 2:10
Our Father sent us the Greatest Gift of all when He sent His Son.
And those early players in the story of His birth were taken with great excitement as they watched the story unfold before them. The Shepherds REJOICED.
The Wise Men were OVERJOYED.
They realized that something special was being given to them to behold.
The Gift is still available to each of us now. Every Christmas we tell the story, and hear the news.
Will someone have to tell me to rejoice?
Will I have to be prodded to be overjoyed in His Presence?
How can I offer my joy to Him this year?
Family Activity: Choose a few favorite family Christmas movies. Spend the evening sharing with your family.
Prayer; This joy in my heart Jesus gave it to me. This joy in my soul will never run dry because Jesus lives in me and He is my source. Thank you Jesus for the the joy you give my soul. Let the joy spread over. Let it pour into the lives of my family in Jesus name. Amen
