My trees are up!
My stockings are hung!
The Elf is on the shelf!
My garland and wreathes are in place accompanied by a life size snowman on the front porch!
My gifts are bought!
So, Shouldn’t I be in the Christmas spirit?? I know that we are now in the Christmas season and Christmas day is approaching ever so quickly but for some reason…I’m just not feeling it. What is missing? As I wonder what could make me in more of a festive mood, I realize…that’s not what Christmas is all about.
Remember the saying…
“JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!”
Instead of trying to get excited about the festivities of the holidays, just maybe I should try humility and focus on Jesus instead. How is it that I can get so distracted from Jesus during the very season that is meant to remind us of Him?! We are celebrating the birth of our Savior!
The nativity (Luke 1 & 2)…what a story this scene tells!
Imagine…the Lord of Lords and King of Kings was born in a stable and placed in a manger. As he grew up, He was perfect in every way. Without a sin, this same Jesus was stripped naked, beaten, and died on a cross to save you and I from our sins.
Let’s enter this Christmas season with humble hearts focusing on Christ Jesus!
"For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
Isaiah 9:6
"For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
Isaiah 9:6
I had a dear friend call me wanting to know what was really wrong with me. How sweet, but I did not mean to make anyone worry or put a damper on anyone's spirits! Nothing is wrong. I was just writing from my heart! Have a very Merry Christmas!
