family advent devotional

In this devotional (a series of writings to aid the reader in focusing on God's word and teaching), you will experience the Christmas story through the eyes of those who lived it  – from Mary and Joseph to the angels, shepherds, and rulers. Experience what it might have been like to witness firsthand the true Christmas miracle – Emmanuel, God With Us.  We want this to be a hands-on and very fun experience for everyone in the family, so we’ve included some ideas for family activities. Take your pick of a “theme” for the month and run with that:
