It seems the closer we get to Christmas, the crazier some people get. We are 15 days away and so much is happening. If going from house to house to see family causes you to flip out on someone, why do you do it? If making 60 dozen cookies causes you to stress eat, why do you do it? If spending hundreds of dollars you don't have so your kids get the perfect gifts sends you into a whirlwind of worry, why do you do it? If trying to prepare the perfect Christmas Eve candle light service has you wishing it was over already, why do you do it? If the Christmas season brings you more panic than peace, something is wrong. If this time of year causes you to be jumpy instead of joyful, something is wrong. If you have fear over something going wrong rather than having fun, you missed it. How about you just "Chill Out"! This is supposed a time of year filled with kindness, love and lasting memories. Take some today to evaluate what your next 15 days look like. If you dread them, then you probably need to take some time for yourself and get alone with God.
Philippians 4:6-7 (ncv) Do not worry about anything, but pray and ask God for everything you need, always giving thanks. 7 And God’s peace, which is so great we cannot understand it, will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
