Mary Shares Her Joy

December 14, 2025

Read pages 164–165 in The Peace Table: A Storybook Bible or Luke 1:26–56. Mary shared her joy with her cousin, Elizabeth. If you had exciting news, who would be the first person you would want to share it with?

Pray prayers of praise to God for the JOY that Jesus brings to the world. Every day have family members take a photo of something that brings them joy. At the end of the week, look at all the photos and sing “Joy to the World.”

Gather items to take to a food bank. Remember Mary’s words, “God has filled the hungry with good things.”
