Spending Christmas with non-Christian family?

 
Tom Beard | 18 Dec 2014

I was just reminded of this really helpful article I read last year. Hugely wise and practical advice, like:

Accept the day isn’t fully yours and that you’re just called to be faithful. God knows you long for your loved ones to know the Lord. Be a servant to your family and ask God to give you eyes to see them as he sees them. Also don’t forget to reflect upon how God has changed you and your family over time.

Be prepared to say ‘Grace’ at the dinner table. As the token Christian, it may well fall upon you to do the ‘Christian thing’ at the table. You might even want to volunteer! Have a good Gospel-centered ‘Grace’ up your sleeve for this moment.

Read the rest of the article by the Australian Bible Society. Highly recommended!
