FAM I LY D E VOT I ON & Activities The second week of Advent focuses on LOVE. The dictionary says love means “a strong liking for something.” People sometimes say they love gingerbread cookies, or twinkling Christmas lights, or visiting grandma. What do you love? In the Bible, the word “love” means so much more than a strong liking for something. Read 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8a. Love is an action. When we love others, we SHOW them by putting them first and caring for their needs. God’s love for us is a special kind of love. God’s love is not conditional, which means He loves us NO MATTER WHAT. Also, God loves us ALL the time. There is never a moment when His love stops. Lastly, God loves us without expecting ANYTHING in return. That is a really amazing kind of love! We see God’s love very clearly during Advent as we look to the birth of His Son, Jesus. As we remember His love, we can focus this week on showing love to others. 31
