Dismount The Treadmill

 

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.Luke 2:14 KJV Bible Gateway

Meaning no disrespect to our savior and Lord who I love with all my heart, but on this day of anticipation it is also a day to wind down, go have a latte, dismount the treadmill of lists, and breathe again. Anyone identify?

Each year when Christmas rolls around it stirs a variety of emotions and man made anxiety producers. Lists,gifts, baking, cards, festivals, programs and so forth. Christmas Eve is a time of reflecting and winding down a bit.

For many this day causes memories and reflections some happy some sad. The birth of a savior. Today as you may be preparing to attend Candlelight services this evening try to pause and reflect on Jesus.

PRAYER: Lord I thank you for your love for me by dying a horrible death on a cross but first we reflect on your miracle birth in a manger and all that surrounds that.Help this day be filled with joy and peace. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
