Hello E-News Friends,
Merry Christmas!
With that said, I would encourage all of you to take a deep breath and slow down. I know you are tied up right now with the 3 Bs...baking, buying, and being busy (okay it could be 4 Bs). But you will miss out on time with the one whose birth you are celebrating if you don’t pause for a moment or two. Pause to say some prayers of thanks. Pause to read a couple chapters of John. Pause to remember why God sent Jesus into this world. Pause because it will make a difference in your attitude.
“But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”
“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:40-42
We are all tempted by time pressure to do things that are important, just not important enough to neglect time with God. Take a drive tonight and see the lights as you play songs that lift up our God and King.
Have a “Mary” Christmas not a “Martha” Christmas!
You are all super! You can do it!
In His Grace,
Tom
