Good morning ladies,
The word of the day is “Christmastide.” This being the day of our Savior’s birth we
can look back and think of our own lives, and when we first began to follow
Jesus. The Christmas story is one of
awesomeness and miracles, worthy of our respect. I love to read these verses each year and try
to put myself in the place of each of the characters, and wonder what they
might have been thinking. Whatever it was,
I wonder if they knew how we would be celebrating so many years later. That their actions in history would be
forever remembered.
“So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the
baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the
word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who
heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.” ~Luk 2:16-18
My question is: what does the season mean to you? There are a lot of things that call for our
attention. Family, presents, stress, and
everything else that goes along with this season can sometimes take center
stage. My prayer is that you approach
the Christmastide this year a little bit differently. Take the next several days and instead of
just thinking about how you are going to take down all of the decorations,
remember that Christmas doesn’t end at the end of today, but is representative
in our lives daily. Continue to spread
joy and extend the season!
Praying for you,
MO
