We’ve all heard about giving things up for Lent during Easter, but why not carry this tradition into the month of December? Hi I’m Lysa TerKeurst for Proverbs 31 Ministries. No matter what denomination you are, intentionally giving up something, to keep your heart focused on Christ is a good thing anytime of the year. What a tangible way to teach your kids about getting their hearts focused on Christ during Christmas by letting them think of something they could give up for the month of December. Maybe it will be their favorite toy, watching television, playing video games, or drinking sodas. Let it be their choice as it is their gift of sacrifice to Jesus for His birthday. And parents don’t forget to join in the fun by sharing what you are sacrificing as well! For more ideas on keeping your family focused on Christ during Christmas, log on to Proverbs31.org and click on our daily e-mail devotions called “Encouragement for Today. I’ll look forward to seeing you at Proverbs31.org.
