Christmas can be super stressful and busy. Here are 10 ways to focus on Jesus this Christmas:
- Seek out quiet moments for yourself. Take 5 minutes to focus your mind and heart on Jesus.
- Make time for your Bible. Read Luke 2:1-20 or do some research on passages in the Old Testament that point to Jesus.
- Ask for Jesus’ advice. Make your day a constant conversation with Him.
- Volunteer. Serve others in your community.
- Pray. Write down everything that is stressing you out and tell Jesus. Then ask Jesus to help you keep your focus on Him the rest of the day.
- Spend time with your loved ones and be a Mary not a Martha.
- Celebrate Advent. Don’t search the Bible for how to do it. It’s not even in the Bible. Find your own way.
- Give gifts with a purpose, like a new Bible, a journal, or a devotional book.
- Say no.
- Embrace imperfection. No family is perfect. Let Jesus make up the difference.
Make sure you remember Jesus is why we celebrate Christmas.
