Christmas is a reminder of the most precious gift – Christ himself. For to us a child is born, to us a son is given…And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6, NIV).
Learning from Mary’s Heart
Consider how Mary treasured and pondered all things in her heart (Luke 2:19). She understood the preciousness of each moment with divine purpose. Let Mary be your example. She illustrates the need to cherish and maximize your time, recognizing it as a gift from God.
Making Moments Matter
As you are exchanging gifts and celebrating this Christmas, take time to remember the greatest gift is how you use the life God’s given you.
Every moment is an opportunity to:
Build deeper relationships that reflect God’s love. Thoughtfully identify the relationships you need to nurture, then take deliberate action to strengthen these connections.
Create lasting impact in others’ lives. Take purposeful actions that create lasting benefits for others, extending your impact beyond yourself.
Live according to eternal values. Anchor decisions in God’s word rather than conforming to the world’s expectations and influence.
Make choices that honor our limited time. Embrace your power of choice and free will to live meaningfully, knowing the precious fragility of each moment.
Eternal Impact in Present Moments
God’s word stands eternal, unchanging through all seasons. The manger scene teaches you that the most significant impacts often start in humble moments, living with pure intention.
Your Christmas Calling
Let this season be more than just a marker of time passing. Let it be a reminder of your calling to live intentionally, love deeply, and create eternal impact with every precious moment you are given.
Merry Christmas!
