What do you remember about your first Christmas as a newlywed?
I remember picking out our tree. We got married the week before Thanksgiving, and we were both still in college. On the Sunday of Thanksgiving break, I suggested that we put up a Christmas tree.
Are you able to find rest in the midst of Christmas? I know you just snickered and said, “Yeah, right.”
Remember your college days and what Christmas looked like then?
When I was a college student, Christmas break was the best rest I got all year. How about you?
How have you used your God-given gifts to serve others?
As a high school student I had the opportunity to serve others with music.
In my eighth grade year, my mom created a Christmas special memory for me.
Daddy’s car died on that freezing winter day as we headed to the first Christmas in his new house.
He said we’d have to walk the rest of the way. I was frightened, afraid to fall on the ice. He carried my sister but couldn’t carry me and stay balanced. He took my hand and we began walking, watching every step.
