“How are you doing today, Rick?” I asked one of our congregation’s elders, as I usually do each Sunday. His reply was not so usual. “Just swell!” he said.
“Swell?” Who answers “swell” these days? The more I thought about it, the more I liked it.

Devotion on Advent, Christmas, Relationships with others, Service, 1 John 4:9–11. 2 pages.
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another (1 John 4:9–11 NIV).
As we eagerly await the birth of the Christ Child, our days are filled with preparation. We decorate our Christmas trees and our homes; shop for gifts; send Christmas cards; bake the family-favorite cookies; attend Advent services, choir rehearsals, and program practices; entertain guests; plus a dozen other things!
Growing tired and weary from the stress and busyness of the season may cause us to be less than loving. At those times our attention is often focused on getting everything done just perfectly rather than on the Christ Child, whose birth is the real reason for celebration.

Devotion on Relationship with God, Love, Treasured, Jeremiah 31:3b. 2 pages.
I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you (Jeremiah 31:3b).
If you could ask God for the “special” that you crave, what would it be? Would it be healing for you or a loved one? Repairing a relationship? Peace in times of trouble? Even more than a grandmother giving her beloved grandchildren what they want, God wants to give us, His treasured possessions, more than we could ever hope for or imagine. What He wants to give us is even more audacious than an “Oliver Special!”

fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand (Isaiah 41:10).
We live in a world with many challenges to face each and every day. Sometimes these challenges can be overwhelming, resulting in distress that creates a sense of fear. … That, in turn, often results in worry or anxiety — one of Satan’s favorite tools.

Devotion on Seasons of Life, Relationship with God, Hebrews 12:2. 2 pages.
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God (Hebrews 12:2, NIV).
I chose the NIV translation of Hebrews 12 because of that single word: author. … That word holds interesting and
meaningful theological implications. To begin with, it reminds us that our faith is a type of written story. Still, it is not like the stories I spend my time writing; when it comes to my faith, I am not in control. When we acknowledge Jesus as both Author and Word, it becomes impossible for us to have an active role in the creation or success of our faith. Not only does He create the plot, He makes Himself the very building block that creates the story — the Word.
