Grateful Hearts in Lean Times

At Christmastime it can be easy to get carried away with materialism and focus on extravagant gifts and lavish dinners.

The content for this reading plan is based on Trevor Hudson’s “Towards a Closer Walk with God”.

Christmas is filled with wonder. Yet under the twinkly lights and piles of paper and ribbon, all its promise can be lost in our must-do lists, noisy distractions, or dreams dismantled by the stuff of life.
