A Quiet Christmas
/
It’s amazing how loud December can get — lights, lists, travel, gatherings, expectations. Even good things can crowd out the one thing our souls crave most: stillness.
The first Christmas wasn’t loud. It was quiet, dimly lit by starlight and marked by wonder. Heaven broke into earth with a whisper, not a roar.
Maybe the best way to honor that night is to create quiet moments in our own — to slow down long enough to listen. Step outside under the stars. Turn off the background noise. Read Luke 2 aloud and remember that peace arrived wrapped in simplicity.
Stillness doesn’t mean stopping everything. It means letting the noise fade just long enough to hear God’s gentle voice again.
Reflection questions:
Where can you intentionally create stillness this Christmas?
How do you reconnect with wonder during busy seasons?
What simple tradition helps you focus on the Savior?
