Devotion on Family Times, 1 Thessalonians 5:11a. 1 page.

Therefore encourage one another and build one another up (1Thessalonians 5:11a).

Whether you yourself have experienced the call of motherhood in your life or not, you can shower affection and support on the new moms around you. God has placed them in your life so that you may mutually bless and support each other, for He is honored and glorified when we are encouraging and supportive. Like the sisters in Luke 10, there are both “Mary” ways to help a new mom and “Martha” ways.

Devotion on Advent, Luke 1. 1 page.

Many of us get stressed out during the weeks leading up to Christmas-so much to do, so little time. It doesn't have to be that way. Mary, the mother of Jesus, can be an example for our Christmas preparations. 

How did Mary prepare when she learned she would have a role in the first Christmas? First Mary humbly submitted to God's plan. Then, she rejoiced as she looked forward to the first Christmas.

How many of us enjoy housecleaning? Many do, but some of us wish that a magic wand could be waved and it could be done instantly! Realizing the impossibility of that happening, we must face the inevitable. Have you noticed that once you get started, housecleaning isn’t such a burden at all and that it’s a joy to see that dirt disappear?

Now let’s compare housecleaning with heart-cleaning. It’s surprising how both can be done at once. A good way to do this is to pray the wonderfully rich hymns and songs we know so well.

Devotion on Trust, Christian Living, John 10:15. 1 page.

… and I lay down my life for the sheep (John 10:15).

I had always thought of sheep as soft and cuddly loveable animals. Not so. They are dumb, dirty, and easily led creatures. Just like the dumb, dirty sheep, who need a protector and guide, I too must rely on the Good Shepherd for my safety and security both now and for eternity.
