Christmas is a time of peace. Time to reflect on the blessings we have and the grace that has been given to us so freely by our Father in heaven. The gift of Jesus can get lost in the hustle and bustle of our American culture this time of year, but if you take some time to think and look around you, He is with us...even in our busiest, most stressful moments.
Symbols are everywhere at Christmas. Lights remind us that Jesus is the light of the world. Evergreen trees remind me of nature, God's beautiful creation, and God's faithfulness. Family gatherings remind me of the supportive people that God has given me to help me make it through life. Good food and sweet treats remind me that God wants us to celebrate our blessings and enjoy the life He's given us. Gifts remind all of us that Jesus was the ultimate gift of love so that all of us can have abundant life.
I hope that you have a blissful Christmas. Take time to remember the reason for the season and the love that you have all around you!
