Be Contagious, Spread Advent JOY
And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people (Luke 2:10).
It is nearly Christmas, and life is busy with school programs, church events, social get-togethers, office parties, cleaning, baking, shopping, and decorating. How’s your attitude? Are you calm? Stressed? Overwhelmed?
The LWML website is a treasure trove of resources, and one title caught my attention: “Advent Joy-A-Tude.” The devotion begins with a story of a woman shopping with two children and she reaches her breaking point. Sound familiar? Joy-robber Satan tries to keep her — and us — focused on the immediate so we are blind to the permanent source of real JOY, Jesus Christ, the newborn King!
When overwhelmed, I will check my “Joy-A-Tude,” go to this devotion, delve into His Word, and be refreshed knowing that true JOY only comes from being in His presence. One small way I can share this JOY is by using Scripture gift tags.
May you also “Be Contagious” and “Spread JOY” this Advent season!
