Good
Morning!
I
have a question! According to what I read in the Bible,
Christmas time should be a "joyful" time....you know the song,
"JOY TO THE WORLD, THE LORD IS COME, LET EARTH RECEIVE THEIR KING"!
However, according to everything I hear on secular television, the
Christmas season is the most "stressful" time of the year for most
people. My "question" is....what is wrong with this
picture?
Is
it because people are more concerned about "Christmas" than they are
about "Christ"? Are they more concerned about buying
"gifts" for people than they are about receiving the
"Gift" that Jesus already bought?
I
am not against giving "gifts" to people....my point is,
if we will also think about sharing the "gifts"
that Jesus has given us with others (life, love, peace and joy), it will allow
us to be "joy-full" instead of "stress-full"!
You can
be "blessed" instead of "stressed" during this Holiday
season, if you will remember that JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON! So,
the rest of this month, I am going to get back to my "Simple is
Good" message. I have shared some of this before, but I believe that this is
good time to share it again. I know for a fact that "keeping my
life simple" has totally eliminated "stress" from my
life!
Have
a Blessed Weekend!! (Keep
it "simple"!) In His Love,
Luanne
