Faithful People Thank God for Jesus

Parents: Ask your children why Jesus’ birth is something to really
celebrate. Encourage each person in your family to name a different
reason to celebrate Jesus’ birth. Then talk about ways your family
celebrates Jesus’ birth at Christmas, and evaluate whether or not
you’re doing a good job of celebrating Jesus’ birth in your Christmas
traditions. Come up with some new ideas you might want to carry out
to make your Christmas traditions even more about Jesus.

Pray: Lord, thank you for sending Jesus to be born. Remind us during this
busy Christmas season to remember why we celebrate Christmas and
to focus our hearts and thoughts on you. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Family Discussion:
In this Christmas season, our family thanks God for. . .
If Jesus were born today, what gift would we bring to Him?
