The promise card
You write this card yourself, one line at a time. The left column holds what God promised. The right holds what He kept. It is an advent calendar of paper, the other way round. Nothing comes out. You put something in. On Christmas Day you read the whole story in your own hand.
How you get there
1. The blank card is at the back. Tear it out or print it. Hang it where you see it. 2. On fourteen days the chapter says what to write. You copy it, nothing more. 3. On the last day you read the card aloud, top to bottom.
Alone or together
Alone works just as well. With others, one reads the words aloud and another writes. Now turn to Day 1.
