Luke 2:8-14 (New International Version)
The Shepherds and the Angels
8And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ[a] the Lord. 12This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."
13Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 14"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."
Day 1 Prayer:
Dear God, this Christmas I hope...

The Purpose of Christmas
Merry Advent, Everyone! What is ADVENT? It is the time of year Christians wait and prepare for Jesus' coming. We wait for Christmas. We prepare. Frank and I did Rick Warren's new book The Purpose of Christmas as a part of our preparation this year. For the last 3 Sunday mornings during the Sunday School hourwe read Warren's suggestion that we fill this waiting season with "buying gifts, sending greeting cards, decorating our homes, putting up lights, cooking, attending parties, and cleaning up afterward, leaving little time to enjoy the meaning of Christmas." With all the "Hurry, Worry, & Scurry!" we sometimes forget the angel's opening statement to the shepherds of Bethlehem. God had wonderful news for us that would cause us all to rejoice, celebrate, and throw a party: "I bring you good news of great joy that will for all the people Luke 2:10
I enjoyed this book so much that I thought it might be fun to do an "ADVENT BLOG" with all of you. So, everyday I am going to type a verse and the beginning of each day's Prayer Journal from The Purpose of Christmas Study Guide. It is a busy season so I thought it was neat that he broke it down so simply. The daily Bible verse was my idea, but I am using verses Warren refers to or quotes in the book. Merry Christmas, Everyone! And God Bless us, everyone!
