Day 12 - Peace

When his first son, Nathan, was born long ago, Pastor Zach wanted to tell everyone about it. His wife, Allison, thought of a fun way to do it. She dressed Nathan up in a tiny hot dog costume for Halloween and took a cute picture. They put his name, birth date, and how big he was on it. It was adorable!

But when their second son, Brady, was born, things were different. They had social media, like Facebook, where they could tell everyone quickly. But when Jesus was born, it was even more special. His mom, Mary, didn't have social media. Instead, angels told some shepherds about him in a field. Those shepherds were surprised! They were dirty from their work and didn't think they were important. But God still told them about Jesus. Jesus came to make everyone happy and clean, even if they felt messy inside. That's why Christmas is special.

Discussion Questions:

1. How did your mom and dad share your birth to the world? Find the post or picture. 

2. Why do you think the angels chose to tell the shepherds about Jesus instead of other people in the town? 

3. How can we make others feel happy and special during Christmas?
