Loved

So Loved

John 3:16

Luke 1:26-56

Matt. 1:18-25

Luke 2:1-40

Matt 2: 1-12

Exposure: Christmas Eve is the last day of Advent. One verse sums it up the best. Read John 3:16. Make a really huge poster or sign of it like you see at sports events or stadiums and post it outside your home.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life.

Exploration: Do you feel so loved today?

Yes I feel loved!!
 
Expression: Say this verse aloud. Memorize it if you haven't already. What has been your greatest moment of being a Jesus follower? What has been your worst moment as a Jesus follower?
The best moment is really when you feel Gods presence, that He is with you. No matter what, He loves you. I always try to remember that when I can't feel Him. Try to remember that He loves me just as much even though I can't feel it. That my feeling has nothing to do with it. It's like my kids. When they do something that makes them feel less loved, it doesn't mean that I love them less. 
In my opinion there is no event, or happening I remember as the best or worst moment. It's the times that I feel His love and not.

Experience: Reflect on your experiences this Christmas season. Attend a Christmas Eve worship service with friends and family.

My advent was great, much because of this reading plan. Remembering and thinking at the Holidays with a different view. Thinking more about His second coming than His first. But the last days before Christmas I turned from Him. More occupied with the presents, my family and the kids. Thinking of what to say and do so that it ended up with less fighting. But still having a good time. I did manage to visit a realative and have a little more Christ inspired talk. On Christmas Eve I took my two eldest kids and my mother and attended a worship service. It was in a church I am not used to be in, and I don't think it was the family one. But I very much enjoyed it. The priest had a good way of talking, my mother didn't think so. She missed a little more kid friendly talk.
Christmas has arrived—the day we celebrate the advent of our Savior Jesus Christ. Reflect on how this reading plan has helped you experience the Christmas season differently. Make a point to help friends or family members download the Bible App to their smart phones today and sign up for a reading plan as a way to offer a birthday present to Jesus.
I loved this reading plan, and specially this 'extra stuff'. Making me think more about the verses I read. Not just let them be what they've always been. Almost forcing me to think differently. 
So all I can say is if you haven't used this readingplan this Christmas, make sure you do it next year!!

Till next time, 
God Bless

And there will be a next time, I just have to find the readingplan for the new year ;)
