Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let earth receive her king
Let every heart prepare him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and heaven and nature sing

I love 'Joy To The World'.

As far as hymns go, there truly is no other that truly reflects the joy of Christmas quite like this one. I mean, it IS right there in the title isn't it?

But today, we're going to take a look at that one line, "Let every heart prepare Him room".

We've heard this lyric time and time again, but when was the last time we really stopped to consider exactly what those words meant? This simple line is truly what the advent season truly is all about... preparing our hearts for Jesus during this holiday season. Is there any greater gift we could give our children?

Today, we're going to look at a fabulous family resource that can help us do just that, 'Prepare Him Room: Celebrating the Birth of Jesus Family Devotional':

This brand new, four-week devotional guides your family on an unforgettable advent journey, exploring some of the most wonderful prophecies in the Bible and how God fulfills them in Christ.

This devotional has been around for a few years, so some of you may have already heard of it or incorporated it into your holiday festivities. If you haven't though, it's certainly one worth checking out. This is the perfect guide to celebrating advent with your family. It is broken into 4 sections, one for each week of advent. Within these sections, it is broken into 3 parts that you can do throughout the week with your family. Each day has a series of activities to be performed as a family--- crafts, scripture reading, conversation starters... anything you need to truly spend time together as a family reflecting on this important season we are in. Each section ends with one chapter of a Christmas story that continues on throughout the weeks leading up to the holiday. These aren't reading that will take an excessive amount of time... or money. They work well for a variety of ages. And most importantly, they really do remind us why we are celebrating and prepare our hearts for Christmas day and the celebration of Christ's birth.
