I put Christmas away.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the first time ever, the artificial tree folded down nicely and actually fit into its box. The Christmas decor items went into their respective boxes and before long, my house looked like the epitome of \u201cnormal.\u201d\u00a0 No holly, ivy, poinsettias or elves anywhere. The house was back to normal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Normal, and very bland. I was missing the joy of the season, and I felt I needed to do something to get it back. But what? A glance through Luke chapter two gave me a clue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Luke reminds us that the shepherds didn\u2019t just return to their fields &#8211; they told everyone what they had seen. Mary took all of the things she had learned and pondered them in her heart, as if to prepare to take up her role in Jesus\u2019 story. The wonder of Christ\u2019s birth is to give way to life\u2019s greatest adventure &#8211; the call to follow the Savior.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s tempting to return to &#8220;business as usual&#8221; and forget the wonder of Jesus\u2019 birth. The decorations may be gone but the assignment is not. Our job is to take the Light out of the living room and into the world. Let\u2019s not pack Jesus away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Beth<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Bible Quiz<\/span>:<\/p>\n<p>Question:\u00a0 Who was the father of those who dwell in tents?<\/p>\n<p>Answer:\u00a0 Jabal\u00a0 (Genesis 4:20)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Storytime: <a href=\"https:\/\/kinshipradio.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Rusty-Toilet-Bolts.mp3\">Rusty Toilet Bolts!<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kinshipradio.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Just-one-more-thing_010526.mp3\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Just One More Thing<\/span>!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Day Is It?
