…on your face! So today, I decided to surprise you with cute Christmas pictures. Then we can read a scripture, or two, and meditate on that – but first the smiles !

This penguin is so cute!

When I was little I loved to play with a jack in a box- it played “Pop! Goes the Weasel”

My husband loves snowglobes, maybe you do,too.

And there are always those who enjoy a kitty picture:

Scripture:
Ecclesiastes 2:26
For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God.

Deuteronomy 16:14
Be joyful at your Feast—you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levites, the aliens, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns.

Zechariah 8:19
This is what the LORD Almighty says: “The fasts of the fourth, fifth, seventh and tenth months will become joyful and glad occasions and happy festivals for Judah. Therefore love truth and peace.”

Activity:
During your Advent devotion sing songs of joy: Joy to the world, Oh Come All Ye Faithful.

Read a warm Christmas story from The Joyful Heart.
