DAY 20: A Gift to Cherish

Day 20: "A Gift to Cherish"

Scripture: John 14:27

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."

Reflection:

When we receive a gift we truly love, we take time to appreciate and care for it. God's gift of peace through the Holy Spirit is like a precious treasure that won't wear out or become outdated. The world's gifts can be temporary and sometimes disappointing, but God's gifts are eternal and continually satisfying. Talk as a family about some of your favorite gifts, what makes them special and how do they make you feel? God's peace is like the best-kind-gift because it gives us comfort during tough times and joy during happy ones. Advent is a perfect time to focus on the amazing gifts God has given us, especially His peace that calms our hearts amid chaos.

Prayer:

Thank You, Lord, for the gift of Your Holy Spirit. Help us to cherish and rely on this gift every day. Amen.
