A Night of Joy
"I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy."Psalm 31:7
Reflection
Tonight is a night of waiting together. Before the presents, it is worth stopping a minute to remember whose birthday it is.
Prayer
Jesus, tonight my heart waits for You. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- Whose birthday is Christmas?
- What do you want to remember before opening presents?
- What are you thankful for this Christmas Eve?
5-minute activity
Before dinner or presents, the family forms a circle and each person thanks God for one thing. If there's cake or dessert, sing happy birthday to Jesus. Read Psalm 31:7 and Luke 2:10-11.
