The Chapel Quotes
“Christmastime, although we often point to Jesus, and want to be generous, has the potential to become all about ‘us’. It has the potential to be an extremely selfish and self-centered time. The genesis of Christmas began with the King of King’s selflessness and humility. Our attitude should not only be joyful, but it should be filled with humility. Do nothing of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but with humility consider others better than yourself. Having a ‘right’ becomes a ‘wrong’ when you have an opportunity to benefit others and you don’t. Humility is releasing your rights and ranks instead of grasping them. How can we leverage our wisdom, energy and experiences to be able to benefit others? Jesus leveraged His position in heaven by releasing His comfort and painlessness and used it not for His advantage but for our benefit. What right can you release that is of an advantage to someone else?”

Devotion 12/07/2025
Our Devotion, “Like It’s Your Last” is by Meghan Cousins of St. Charles, Illinois, who studied professional writing at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: “I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live…” Deuteronomy 30:19 (NIV)
The alarm failed, so Maria was late getting up. With no time to shower, she did what she could to try to cover up her hair’s greasy shine. First period P.E. on an empty stomach didn’t turn out well. She had to stay late in biology class to explain why she didn’t have her homework done…again. Finally, walking home after missing her bus, Maria reflected on her day: What more could have gone wrong? I wish I had stayed in bed and never gotten up this morning.
When Maria walked in, her mom called her into the kitchen. “What?” asked Maria, sighing. “Mrs. Smith called me today. Taylor’s sister, Ashley, died this morning. She never woke up, and there was nothing the hospital could do.”
Maria was speechless. Salty tears painted crooked lines on her cheeks. One day Ashley was here, and the next she wasn’t; no warning, no time to say goodbye. What if I didn’t wake up tomorrow? What if today was my last day on earth, and I just had the worst day of my life? At that moment, Maria decided she was going to live each day as if it was her last because she might not wake up the next morning.
PRAYER: Lord, please help me to choose life every day and see all the ways You have blessed me. In Christ, I pray. Amen.

THE BERENSTAIN BEARS’ CHRISTMAS TREE
By Jan Berenstain with Mike Berenstain
Zonderkidz, 978-0-310-71940-3, PB, 60 pages, $12.99
It’s Christmas Eve in Bear Country, and the Berenstain Bears have no Christmas tree! Papa Bear takes Brother and Sister out to find the perfect tree. After nearly chopping down a few trees that serve as homes for various animals, Papa gets a surprise that will change his attitude about Christmas. He learns to respect life, love, and family.
The Berenstain Bears have been a beloved part of American culture since 1962, when their first book came out. These days, the books are done in rhyme, and they feature verses of Scripture to set up the theme and message of the book. Regrettably, God is only mentioned a few times, for the book’s focus is less on a Christmas attitude that reflects Christ than it is on a similar lesson that Dr. Seuss’s Grinch learned about sharing and equality in his famous story. Still, the artwork is colorful, the sentences are easy enough for beginning readers to follow, and the message is uplifting.
