What comes to mind when you first hear “Christmas?” You may feel overwhelmed by the busyness of shopping, cooking, and cleaning that often fills this time of year. Or, you may happily anticipate the decorating, parties, cookie exchanges, and plethora of Hallmark Christmas movies. Whether we welcome or limit the extra activities of the season, let’s take time to reflect on the reason we celebrate.
In case you need a little bit of encouragement or direction, I’ve collected a few of the Christmas devotional resources I’ve put together over the years and listed them below:
- The Light of Christmas – This FREE 8-day devotional guide focuses on the theme of light. I love that light is such an integral part of Christmas. The lights on our trees, our homes, and more all remind us of the “True light” (John 1:9). Jesus is the light of the world (John 8:12) who offers life to all people. This dark world certainly needs the light and life of Jesus right now. Check out the printable download!
- The Ornaments of Christmas – This FREE printable devotional is perfect for the family. It focuses on three things from the Christmas story that we also often see as ornaments on our trees – angel, star, and crown. Depending on the age of your children, you can use it as one devotional or break it up into three shorter ones. Use Christmas ornaments or decorations as visuals. Pass the ornament around during the times of reflection, thanksgiving, and worship and ask each family member to share.
- Six Ways to Help Your Kids Focus on the Real Meaning of Christmas – Although you can probably come up with a longer list, here are six practical things you can do with your family to impact them with the truth of Christmas. We used them all with our own children!
- Christmas Trivia Quiz – How well do you know the biblical Christmas story? Can you separate tradition from Scriptural fact? Take it yourself or download it and use it with a group!
I’d love to know if you make use of any of these Christmas devotional resources! May your Christmas season be joyful and filled with the joy of Christ and His salvation.
