It's the beginning of the craziness of Christmas. Actually, it started last weekend, but this weekend has parties and get togethers. I still haven't touched my cards, my house is far from decorated, and I still have a few gifts to purchase. I'm feeling overwhelmed and stressed! Is this what Christmas is about? No! I need to refocus on the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of Christ. Christmas is not about running around, being stressed out. It's about peace and salvation. It's about a baby being born in a stable to save all of mankind. It's about blessings. It's a birthday celebration, so let's not make it a season that gives us so much stress that we forget about the real meaning of Christmas. Take some time to focus on the joy and peace of the season this weekend.
While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:6-7
10But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. 12This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." Luke 2:10-12

It really does take a conscious effort to keep from becoming stressed. I am determined not to let it get to me this year. I am determined to enjoy the season.
