I like the peacefulness this time of year brings. Especially at night with the lit up houses and neighborhoods. It is a special time of year. I pray for the less fortunate who may not have anyone to celebrate with or a family that doesn't have much. Those are the ones we are to pray for and lift up. It can be very sad for some so it is nice to invite someone to your house for the holidays if you think they may be alone. I remember how much it meant to me when I was living in Georgia all alone at Thanksgiving and someone invited me home with them. So remember the true meaning of Christmas this year. It isn't about the latest trinket or blowing up your credit card while shopping...it is about family, making memories together, cherishing those loved ones and extending oneself to help another. So enjoy this holiday season. Take the time to enjoy the music, the lights, the beauty of your Christmas tree, the decorations, the yummy smelling candles and most of all....the Lord our Saviour, who IS the true reason for this holiday season. Be blessed!
Matthew 1: 18-25
