PICTURE PERFECT CHRISTMAS: Unexpected Joy

Each year, many of us count the days until Christmas.  We have advent calendars and busy schedules filled with special activities.  But then, after Christmas is over, we may find ourselves sad and disappointed.  In reality, Christmas isn't an end, but a BEGINNING!  Everything changed because of Christmas and God is changing those who come to Him still today!   NEXT STEPS: -  My plans have changed and I am facing unexpected joy, but I will rejoice! -  My plans have changed and I am facing unexpected sorrow, but I will trust Him! -  Jesus, I ask that You let me know You are near to me, whatever the circumstance.
