It's Christmas time again. It is time to celebrate the birth of Jesus. I find it funny how we (society) spends just over 4 weeks getting ready to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Actually, in the last 10 years I would venture to state that pure secularism and commercialism has made this Season more and more about ourselves and what "I" want versus the reason for the Season: Jesus!So, that being said, I decided to make a top 10 list of things to do before Christmas (for Legacy Dads):
- Read Luke 2 (to your family and friends)
- Shop for a charity (Angels of Hope or any notable charity and teach your family the value of giving
- Help a family struggling this season - Sponsor a family in need (you can do this discreetly or ask your church office for permission to contact someone in need)
- Donate your time, talent and treasure this season to Jesus - think on these things first before yourselves
- Give love and time to your loved ones
- Serve your wife everyday when you come home from work (we call this the "SECOND SHIFT" - thanks Matt Chandler)
- Serve your kids everyday -give them your attention and time all the way up to bedtime - read stories, play tag, play a board game, tell them about Jesus and the God's love Story
- Read the bible every day
- Pray every day
- Listen to the Holy Spirit (they quiet voice in you nudging you to do God's will and not your own
What are some of your top tens?
