Prayer: Abba, how grateful I am for your gift of love, life, and salvation. Amen.
Reading: Galatians 4:4-7 (Click to read text) Stop and GROW: After reading the text, discuss/ponder the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America’s Book of Faith questions, which are part of Camp Mount Luther’s GROW Time with campers. QUESTION 1: What scares, confuses, challenges, or doesn’t make sense to me in this text? QUESTION 2: What delights me in this text or is my favorite part of the story? QUESTION 3: What stories or memories does this text stir in me? QUESTION 4: What is God up to in this text? Reflection: Today is the birthday of my niece and nephew. They came into this world a miracle of love and God’s blessing, indeed. There are nearly two decades between my children’s birthdays and these two kiddos, so spending time with them is doubly fun for me. As godmother, I love sharing the story of Jesus’s amazing birth with them, teaching them about the first Christmas birthday presents given by the wise men, telling them how so many people celebrated His coming as we talk about how excited we all were to greet them. And I can’t help but think how wondrous is God’s love, to bestow His only son as the ultimate gift to humanity. How great it is to remember the joy and promise to be found in every child born, full of God’s light and purpose. --Heather LeBlanc
