Spend Christmas Together – 25 Day Advent
Reading Plan
https://www.bible.com/reading-plans/3269-
spend-christmas-together
It’s so easy to get caught up in all the hall decking and merry making that we forget what
Christmas is all about – a baby in a manger who
changes everything! So before Christmas slips away and the New Year
dawns, we invite you to slow down and take some time to prepare your
heart for the celebration “God with us.”
Day 25: “A Christmas Blessing”
Luke 2:1-21
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Thank you for taking the time to journey along with us on this Spend Christmas
Together reading plan. Hopefully, it has been helpful to you as you have been
preparing for the celebration of Christ’s coming into the world. Christmas has
finally arrived today, and we celebrate the reality that He is here and spending
Christmas together with us.
Here is a prayer to end our season of Advent together.
Father,
Thank you for your Son, Jesus, whose birth we celebrate today. He is the One
who has brought peace, joy, and hope into our lives and the world. He has
brought us home to a relationship with You and made us citizens of Your Kingdom. Please continue to renew us through Your Holy Spirit as we seek to be more
like Jesus every day. Please use us to continue the work of Jesus that You have
for us to do. Thank You for the many blessings that You give, and help us remember and celebrate those blessings today. We pray this in the name of Jesus.
AMEN.
