A Christ-Centered Christmas: Lessons from an Eight-Year Old

It's December! This month can be hectic for some (alright, so it is hectic for everyone) as we make time for shopping, for celebrations, and for other year-end items. It can be a bit overwhelming, feeling like things have to be perfect, missing loved ones, and enjoying all the abundance of sunlight (not!). 

There is a way to find more joy this Christmas season, however. We can remember that things don't have to be perfect, because there is someone who loves us in our imperfections. We can take comfort in the knowledge that because of Him missed love ones can one day be reunited with us.


This eight-year old is ready to make a Christ-centered Christmas this season. Shooting him I learned some fun things from him about the reason for this Christmas season. 

The Logan, Temple venue? Yeah, his idea. 


The amazing pose looking at his mama? He asked me to take it. 

Including his in-awe siblings in the shoot? All him. 

Because Christmas isn't about the things we recieve. It's not about the size of our tree or the spread on our dinner table. 

It's about the joy of serving, it's about the joy of Him. 

Happy December!
