Light a candle and pray Jesus light of the world come into our darkness and be our joy!
Read Matthew 2:1-12
One of the greatest ways to allow joy into our life is through giving. As followers of Jesus we act like Jesus in this. He gave, we give. We give without fear of running out. Giving truly gives us joy.
As one of our final acts of planning for joy, spend some time with the Holy Spirit and talk to Jesus about giving. Where you should give. What you should give. How you feel about giving, and whatever else you might need to discuss with him about this. This isn't. just about money. It is about giving time, freindship and of who you are. The wise men had a great cost in time, energy, emotions and finaces to come and bring gifts to Jesus. It wasn't just about the gold, frankensence and myrrh. I would love to know what the conversations these men had on the way home.
Some may see giving as unwise, but we can look at it as an investment in our joy. Spend some time planing to invest this next year!
