Dec 9 - A Season of Renewal

Long time no see ! Under the encouragement of a sister, I picked up my Christmas edition of Our Daily Bread for this month. It's a very resourceful devotional with many meaningful reminders. Here is one on Dec 6:

"Some church leaders are suggesting that we put more attention on the observance of Advent, the 4 week period before Christmas. Instead of filling those days with activity and ending up physically and spiritually depleted, we need to recall that :"Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength." Isaiah 40:31

We can determine to make the most of our times in daily Bible reading and prayer, and to give people priority over things. As we take time to focus on Christ's birth and strengthen our relationship with Him, this time of year can become a season of renewal instead of exhaustion.".

What is filling up your calendar this month ?
