I Get To Prepare My Heart: A Christmas Devotional

In this Christmas devotional, we learn to focus on the little joys in life when our attention is being pulled in every direction all at once.

Christmas is supposed to be a time of year filled with joy, love, generosity, and goodwill. But for many people, their favorite holiday season is instead bogged down by stress and unreasonable expectations of others and, more often, themselves.

Women are especially susceptible to the “I have to” mentality around the holidays. We have a mile-long to-do list, and we can lose sight of what is truly important while we struggle to check off every box. We place demands on our time and expect so much from ourselves that we would never ask of other mothers, grandmothers, wives, or any woman.

This daily devotional allows and encourages us to take a step back and breathe. The anecdotes and passages remind us that Christ is the center of Christmas and that our obligations to Him, to our families, and to ourselves outweigh the trivial and the material.

The most important of these is to love and cherish each other and our blessings, and I Get to Prepare My Heart shows us how.
