December seems to be getting more hectic every year, for everyone....It has been especially hectic for me, so far, due to surgery - but it was said, on a sweet card, "this too shall pass"; it is getting better.
As December is a hectic time, my prayer is for people to relax and enjoy the season; it really is too commercialized. Once we stop and think about the "real reason" we are celebrating, it should put an ease into the holiday. My family is not much on the gift giving; we just try to get together and enjoy each other - sometimes easier said than done! :) But, all in all, we do have a good time enjoying each other, nibbling on food, and giving Praise to the Lord - this is why we celebrate Christmas, right?
Luke 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.
When we remember WHO we are celebrating, we will be able to be relaxed, thankful, grateful, helpful, and even friendly, to everyone. This will also bring out the generosity in us - I'm not saying we shouldn't give gifts - it just shouldn't be the priority! It's all about Him!
Merry Christmas to everyone - enjoy your family, friends, and even the strangers you meet during this time of year......You may be the only Bible anyone reads - make it count this Christmas!
