What better time than Christmas to reflect on the importance of God and what He did for us! The Christmas season is one that seems to exude joy almost everywhere you look. Brilliant colors, twinkling or glittering lights and special music to celebrate the birth of Christ. A sense of anticipation and the joy of shopping. Oh, yes, I know the season can be hectic and make some of us grumpy because of all the demands that seem to pop up everywhere. And I have been there.
During the last few years I have tried to keep the pace simple so I am not overwhelmed. Many people are without family, in nursing homes, in hospitals or simply alone and without hope. That's what needs to be emphasized. There is hope in Christmas because of the birth of Christ. That gift from God is the greatest gift anyone can receive. Take time to read the four gospels and their account of the birth of Christ. Let your mind wander back to what really is the most important thing of all.
