Bible Verses Covered
Devotion: Our family talked about this passage and what we thought it meant. We talked about how this passage tells John's family that they will have a baby - something Elizabeth and Zechariah did not think possible. Then all at once God gives a gift, lights up hope, and answers the prayers of Elizabeth and Zechariah.
We talked about how Christmas is a time of hope; giving and thinking of others. That just like John the Baptist, Jesus was a gift from God. At this time of year, we are reminded of this gift and hope is renewed. We talked about how our family celebrated hope and prepared for Christmas. Our kids reminded us that we prepared through decorations, Christmas sheets and donating presents to those in need. Our daughter told us about the songs they are learning in choir and those help celebrate too. We reminded our family that, just like Zechariah, we are indeed fortunate.
Prayer: Dear God. I hope this world will come to peace. And thank you for everything we have.
