ലൂക്കോശ് 10:41-42

Do you long for a deeper, more meaningful Christmas celebration? This year, rediscover the gifts of HOPE, PEACE, JOY, and LOVE that God extends to all of us during this busy season. Rediscovering Christmas in the Chaos explores these Advent themes through scripture and readings meant to prepare us to step away from the craziness of the holiday season and truly celebrate Jesus’ birth!

Often we feel as if we’re not doing enough. Then we feel guilty because we’re supposed to be having quiet times with God too—but when we try to slow down, our hearts and minds are still busy. The story of Mary and Martha offers us guidance as well as grace in this tension. It’s a story of two sisters. It’s a story for each of us.

You were designed to achieve great things! You are unique in your being, your personality, your abilities, and your relationships. And there is no one else on the face of the earth who can live your life and accomplish your good. So don’t waste your life. Do things that matter!

Sibizelwe ekubeni sihole njengoJesu. Ubuholi buqala ngomuntu, hhayi isikhundla, futhi inhloso yobuholi ukuholela abantu baNkulunkulu ezinjongweni zaKhe. Isifundo ngasinye sansuku zonke sizokusiza wakhe isisekelo esiqinile lapho ungumholi khona, kukukhumbuze ukuthi ngaphambi kokuba umholi uyinceku, futhi ngaphambi kokuba ube yinceku ungumntwana othandekayo kaNkulunkulu.
