#reflect christ

[dramoor]

"The saints are a burnished mirror in which are reflected the beauty and strength and majesty of Christ. They are the fruit on that Tree of Life which is Christ … As the sun among the stars and a king among his nobles, so is Christ among His saints. This works in both directions - from Christ to the saints and from them to Christ: the saints are given meaning by Christ, and Christ is revealed through the saints."

~St. Nicholas of Zicha

Consider

your Christmas traditions and how they might reflect Christ even more. Elves, Santa, and sugar plum fairies aren’t necessarily bad; they also aren’t necessarily good, even if they’re fun. By fostering Christ honoring traditions, you are passing on a heritage that is eternal to your family. Your children and grandchildren are wired to learn from you in a special way.

READ: Deuteronomy 11:19-21; Deuteronomy 4:9-10; Psalm 34:11-14; Psalm 78:5-7, Isaiah 38:19

PRAY: Pray about how you can best honor the Lord in your celebrations and share Him with the children in your family this Christmas.
