Prepare the Way

Read page 108 in The Peace Table or Isaiah 2:1–5. Imagine everyone putting down their weapons and living in peace. Talk about some ways to live at peace with one another. Pray prayers of praise to God for the hope that Jesus brings to the world. While praise can be exuberant or loud, it does not have to be. We can praise God in a variety of ways, including with quiet prayers and soothing music. Praise God in a way that feels most authentic to your family. Read the book A Child’s Garden: A Story of Hope by Michael Foreman or watch it read aloud on YouTube. How is this similar to the Bible story?
