The Advent weeks of preparation for Christmas are hectic, and the hustle and bustle distracts us from the true spirit of the season.  The stress can transform us from “wise man” to “grinch” before we know it!

But in the midst of this activity, peace and calm are available.  In just minutes a day, you can calm your heart and fill it with the Christmas spirit. Prepare Your Heart for A Great Christmas celebrates our loving God who is with us in all we do.  Through scripture, stories, gratitude and intention, the daily reflections recall Jesus’ instruction to “accept the Kingdom of God like a little child,” (Mark 10:13-16).  With the trust of a child, we welcome God anew into the manger of our hearts at Christmastime.  Daily quiet time will enhance the Advent season, and help us deeply discover the holy possibilities of Christmas.
