The Christmas season reminds us of the longing for home—a place where we belong, are loved, and find peace.
But sometimes, just like Mary and Joseph in Luke 2:1-7, the journey to “home” isn’t easy.
Yet, even in unexpected places and imperfect circumstances, God creates a space for us to belong.
Christmas is here and it is time to go “Home for Christmas.”
Today we will see the importance of home and how to help create that safe space for others.

To live the life you were created by God to live you need tenacity. No shortcuts, you must learn to be tenacious. In the final session of this series, we’ll explore the importance of pre-deciding to be persistent and resilient. Life’s obstacles can either break us or build us, but when we choose to be tenacious in advance, we are equipped to persevere no matter what comes our way.

Imagine sitting by a roaring fire, the twinkling lights of the Christmas tree illuminate the room, and in the warmth and glow of the moment we allow our thoughts to drift back through time to the very first Christmas. We know the characters of Christmas, but as familiar as we are with the story do we really take the time to understand how important each person in the story really is? In this series, it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas and we find someone who is NOT your average Joe.

Generosity is more than just spontaneous giving; it’s a mindset that begins with a pre-choice to be a blessing. If you are willing, you will find some ways to cultivate a heart of generosity, become a philanthropist in spirit, and live in such a way that our lives pour out love, kindness, and resources to those around us.
