Prepare Your Heart for a Great Christmas

Give a friend (and yourself) the gift of peace with this contemporary devotional journal. This book isn’t for those who aspire to be Martha Stewart or Mother Teresa, but for all women who fall somewhere in between! Follow its simple formula and enjoy the holidays with your mind, heart and soul intact!

Prepare Your Heart for a Great Christmas combines unique reflections with real life, using daily prayer and to-do lists to ease your mind and inspire your heart. Here’s a reflection from the book:

The Lord waits to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show mercy to you. Isaiah 30:18

The stress and anxiety of decking the halls can send us climbing the walls. Yet, the gifts, decorations and food we slave to prepare are really only faint shadows of the wonderful gifts God has given us in our talents, relationships and in creation.

Faith calls us to look at life through this lens: all is gift from God, and it’s all pretty terrific, if we just pay attention! Faith gives us the opportunity to view ourselves, others, and life (even with all its stresses), as gift. Our concerns, joys, frustrations, can be transformed.

This is the hope of Christmas. The baby born in Bethlehem brought life, innocence, potential and trust to a world hardened by death, deceit, suffering and broken dreams. Christmas means new beginnings, and hearts filled with hope.

In moments of longing or emptiness this season, remember to invite God into those feelings. God’s love will provide the nourishment you truly need to sustain you today and the rest of this hectic and holy season.
