“Peace on Earth” December Challenge

As most of you know I really want to keep Christ in Christmas and I shared some ways you can do that here. I have also found a fellow blogger who is trying to help us have a peaceful, Christ-centered Christmas.

So let me introduce you to the “Peace On Earth” December Challenge. Each week Courtney at Women Living Well will give you one practical tip and one spiritual tip that will bring you peace here on earth during this hectic holiday season. Isn’t that great!! These are easy and inexpensive ways to have a Christ-centered Christmas.

Today: Write at the top of your December calendar page – I Peter 5:7 “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” This will be a reminder every time you look at your calendar and feel anxious about all you have to get done – to pray. God cares for you. Release your worries to him and rest in him.

Also, go buy an extra large candle and light a candle everyday in your home in the month of December. Each time the candle catches your eye, say a prayer for peace in your home.

Here’s the candle on my kitchen table……..

Courtney says, “So often we seek peace by trying to buy more or accomplish more in the short time we have. We push the limits of our body by staying up late, and going and going and going. Rather than doing more, let’s STOP. Just simply stop, rest and get alone with God. I think we will be surprised to find how life changing this time alone with our mighty God can be.”

Let’s be intentional about have a Christ-centered Christmas and hold each other accountable. I want that don’t you??

Walking in His Grace,

  1. This is such an exciting idea. I love it. I am away from home for a week or so, but I would like to follow too. That verse is EXACTLY what I needed to read tonight as I process a particularly hard day. Thank you for all your encouragements. I have been following you since your “Loving Life as a Preachers Wife” days. You are a wonderful encourager. Sending you much love today. Janine
