"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."(Isaiah 9:6)
Is Christmas your favorite holiday? Is your focus more on Red and Green, tinsel, lights, and gifts or on the baby Jesus in a manger?
Many people live to shop and love to shop. I am not one of those although I love giving presents all through the year as that is my love language. There are many ways to not focus on yourself this time of year and several ministries that have opportunities to share with others throughout the world.
Try to not get so caught up in sales, cyber Monday, movies and such that you don’t take time to relax and enjoy this season for what it is. Peace on Earth good will toward men and a savior being born in a lowly manger( feed trough) in a barn. Don’t feel obligated to do every Christmas event but take time to be still.
PRAYER: There have been times I don’t look forward to this holiday mainly due to secular worldly trappings. Touch people’s hearts Lord to see beyond the trappings and be set free by a babe in a manger.In Jesus’ name. Amen.
