Putting Christmas Away

 "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."Matthew 6:33

Mixed emotions always accompany the Christmas season. Today I walked my neighborhood and was thinking it was time to pack the decorations away for another year. 

Let’s not pack Jesus and the spirit of Christmas away  though. You may have had unmet expectations or inner emotional turmoil going on but give it to Jesus. Make a New Year’s resolution to get on your knees daily, yes down on the floor if you can and give praise and thanks to God. 

It is easy to let your spiritual life get in a slump or to get negative so why not seek to truly give your heart to God and let Him carry your burdens. I am going to try will you join me?

PRAYER: Father forgive me when I put you on the shelf with the decorations and forget why there is Christmas. In Jesus’ name.Amen. 

Note: My former church in Alabama has 21 Days Of Prayer twice yearly. The first one begins 4 Jan 26 and anyone anywhere can get online and participate either live Central time or stream later. The link is www.churchofthehighlands.com/21days. Why not check it out. Or you can download awesome App entitled Pray First. You won’t be sorry.
