Our family read tonight’s devotion from the advent devotional book called Glory in his Grasp, provided by Martin Luther College. Tonight’s reading started with a reference to the classic novel, Where the Red Fern Grows.
As my husband read the first sentence of the devotion, our 4th grader jumped with excitement. She is currently reading Where the Red Fern Grows. She is nearing the final chapter of the book, so many tears were shed today.
What a blessing to discuss content and emotions of the this classic story in relation to our focus tonight on Jesus-Humbled in Birth from Philippians 2:6-12.

HI Julie,
I haven’t read that devotion, but I have read and listened to Where the Red Fern grows many times, first as a child, then as a teacher and a parent. Never fails to evoke tears, and is a story that stays with you. I’m glad it is still being read by a new generation of children. Blessings on your advent preparations and ministry!
Susan
