Centering Moment: As we prepare for the coming of Christmas and our lists pile up around us, what are the three most important things that you must do each day to get ready for Christmas? Make a list of those three things that help you prepare and are most important to you this time of year. Every day, do your best to get at least those three things done. Is it quiet time? Is it calling a friend who is alone this Advent season? Is it doing mission work? Do those things that bring you joy first, and the rest will fall in line.
