It’s Almost Christmas!

It Is Almost Christmas!

 

It is almost Christmas! Just wanted to stop by and say hi and see how you are all doing? This is traditionally a week that can turn into a real frenzy with so many last-minute things to catch up on. I was reminded as I did my devotions this morning, that this is the very time when we need to slow down and really take the time to consider the season.

 

Christmas has the potential to come and go and be lost in the hustle and bustle of the “things” we feel we need to accomplish during this time. But what if this year, we made the decision to make it different? What if, this year, we were intentional about setting some quiet time aside, to sit with our Bible, to sit with the Lord, to sit with our family and friends and consider the wonder and the mystery of Christmas. To allow the Father to speak into our lives. To allow the necessity of real relationships to touch us in a meaningful way. To allow, the mystery and wonder of Christmas to touch our hearts and spirits in a way it hasn’t had the opportunity to do so before.
 

I challenge you this week – stop, listen, consider and hear. Don’t let the season pass you by in a flurry of activity that just leaves you weary on the other end and anxious to pack it all up and in until next year.
