CHRISTMAS IN THE HOUSE? HOW DOES GOD DO IT?

LOVE DIVINE

I am Gabriel, I stand in the very Presence of God, it was He who sent me to bring you this good news. Luke 1:19

Bible Story: Luke 1:26-38 Mary says “yes” to God’s favour and Love!

Confident:

Christmas in the house is a sign of God’s miraculous love and favor.

Connected:

God first loves us, that’s how we get Christmas in the house.

Powerful:

Christ in us is a miracle of love —it’s Christmas in the house!

Reflection for Parent(s): Every home a house of praise!

I think everyone thinks Christmas just comes. It’s easy to get Christmas “in the house”. Just get the decorations, sing some songs and open the presents and voila… it’s Christmas in the house.

This Christmas let’s ponder how miraculous Christmas is. Jesus, the Son of God, growing in us… “How can this happen” … Clearly a miracle in Mary’s day. Just as it is today.

Christmas is LOVE DIVINE—“in the house”. First it came to Mary’s house. Now it can be in ours. No matter how you look at it, Christmas in the house is a miracle—LOVE DIVINE—IN THE HOUSE!
