“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14:27
The last two years has been a tumultuous time all over the world and I only know how it was and is here in the United States. Pain, confusion, death, separation from family, isolation, zooming and finally a light at the end of the tunnel then poof another variant of the dreaded Covid. When will it end?
The season Of Christmas is to be one of joy but too may feel it is forced merriment. You may feel the pressure of giving and do not take delight in it seeing it as more of an obligation. Credit cards get maxed out. Society says it is time to be happy and go running all over the place to make yourself happy. Is that the answer? How do you decide that you are going to really have joy and enjoy Christmas and its’ true meaning?
I challenge you with Christmas only a few days away to really run to the Saviour. No one is hovering over you barking commands that you have to do such and such so you can control your schedule. Can you sit and relax with your Bible and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee? Don’t make yourself forget what this holiday is all about. Peace on earth, goodwill to men.
PRAYER: Help me Lord to adjust my attitude and expectations over Christmas and be thankful for the little things such as friends, family, good health, warm home, and so much more. I choose to be joyful and find someone to spread joy to. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Becky: This is right on target. We humans make this a 'rat-race' holiday, spending money we don't have for things we really don't need. We should be focusing on Jesus's birth. Peace and blessings.
