Making Preparations

We are smack dab in the middle of the holiday season and in order to survive, we must have a plan. A successful holiday survival plan must include:

-Family Meal Menus
-Travel Itineraries
-Shopping Lists
-Working Budget
-Christmas Decorating Strategy
-Work, Family and Neighborhood Party Prioritization

But, we often leave off the most important part of our Christmas season preparation plans...preparing our heart to experience Christ. Although Destiny does not officially observe Advent, I appreciate the more liturgical churches who begin the process of preparing to celebrate Jesus' birth four weeks before December 25th. That process helps our hearts to be ready to truly celebrate the birth of our Savior.

What will you do next month to help prepare yourself spiritually for Christmas? Leave a comment so that we can learn from each other...
