Holiday Distractions

 

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given,and the government will be on his shoulders.And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 NIV Bible gateway

What is the reason for this holiday? There is the well known cliche ‘Jesus is the reason for the Season’. Are you fully aware of that or are you finding yourself distracted by all the trappings the ‘world’ says is necessary to have a jolly holly Christmas?

My purpose is not to guilt but to make you think. If you have small children or grandchildren do what you can to tell them the Christmas story.

Programs, movies, cookie baking, sending cards, decorating are all fine and good but are you getting worn out or feeling obligated? Try to take time to enjoy peace on Earth.

PRAYER: This is the time of year many go to church for the first or second time of the year because they know it is the right thing to do. Help use me to impart your love to those who may not know you and be with many hurting this time of year. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
