Tradition – look forward to looking back
December is one of America’s most traditional holiday seasons. For some it is a time for sentimental remembering. To others a reminder of past disappointment. God’s Word teaches us that Tradition is really more about the future than the past.
“In the future your children will ask you,
“What do these stones mean?” Then you can tell them …”
Joshua 4:21
Tradition isn’t just a holiday season, but any routine we maintain and pass down. It can be as big as Easter, or the act of taking communion, or as simple as night time prayer with the kids. By establishing traditions with our family & friends, we create teachable moments where, in years to come, those who mean the most to us, can look back with joy, and understand the values that shape our lives.
As you celebrate Christmas with those you love, create a tradition to repeat each year, and look forward looking back!
