Well, let’s admit it. Along with the delightful, smells,
tastes, sounds and anticipation of the season there is more. More stress, more
busyness, more annoying relatives. There are the gifts that don’t work, that don’t
fit, that we don’t need. We overeat, we over shop and we overdo. Take a break
before the hoopla begins and think on these things.
Finally,
brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right,
whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is
excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things. Philippians 4:8
What do you think?
Can we rise above the craziness and focus on the lovely and excellent and pure?
Focus on the love around you and the One who came for us. It’s all about Him
after all. He can change everything.
Jesus,
Calm our spirits as we get ready to celebrate the loveliest
and purest gift ever given, the life You sacrificed for us, taking on all of
the things that are not lovely and pure. Keep our focus on You and sharing all
of the excellent and noble gifts You give to us.
Amen
