This Christmas season is starting off to be the best ever. We just finished our church's Christmas production " Welcome to our World". We had 5 shows and every night was a packed house. Most of my role was singing in the choir except for a short role as King Herod.
One of the most impressive things about the production this year was the presence of many teenage kids that were part of the children's ministry. I call them my "babies". I love to see the kids that were part of the kids church take part in ministry. I felt like a proud dad watching them dance,act and sing. The main role of Mary was played by Alexis and she did an excellent job. Wasn't it just yesterday that she was in kids church? Our kids grow up so fast. I hate to sound so cliche' but cherish the moments that they are young because before you know it they are all grown.
Christmas is a time of wonderful traditions. If you don't have a tradition yet this year begin one with your children. The most important tradition we can have during Christmas is to teach our children that Christ, Emmanuel came to our world. This is wonderful opportunity to help our children connect with the God who came to us. George Barna of The Barna Research Group says " if you want to change your society, connect kids to God". I encourage you to seek every opportunity to connect your kids to God. Our kids team is committed to partnering with parents to help them achieve this.
My prayer for you this season is to teach your kids that Emmanuel has come. God bless you and Merry Christmas.
