When Advent- the waiting days before
Christmas- is approaching, I think of the little word, joy. It is the joy
of Jesus’ birth in the stable and the joy of what Jesus brought to each of
us.
God sent Jesus to be born in the
manger to save each of us. We can have joy every day when we
remember that God gave us a loving Savior who takes our sins away. We
have to make room for that joy in our hearts. Advent is a time to
remember and renew in us, the joy of Jesus.
Joy
came to the barn when Jesus was born
Joy
came when they saw the star
Joy
came to Bethlehem
Joy
came to the world
Joy
is here for each of us
Prayer: Dear God, During this Advent time,
help us find the joy that Jesus brought to each of us. Thank you for
sending your Son, Jesus so we can have
joy. Amen
