You have Christmas stories to tell. Oh, yes, I know you do!
And telling them might be more important than you realize.
“It is our personal stories that bring context to God’s bigger story,” state the good folks at Christian Grandparenting Network. “And part of the telling of those stories involves writing them down.”

How true! Think about it:
Until you put your Christmas stories in writing, they are merely your memories,
your thoughts, your experiences.
Someone needs to know your Christmas stories—the sad ones, the happy ones; the normal ones, the unusual ones; the discouraging ones, the encouraging ones; the boring ones, the surprising ones—all part of “God’s bigger story.”
This is a busy time of year so I’m not suggesting you sit down and write. Instead, as memories of Christmases past pop into your mind, jot down ideas and promise yourself you’ll write them as stories in the new year!
Your stories are important!
God can use them as part of His bigger story
to teach, inspire, and offer hope.
