"And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:7
With some major changes in my life, my soul required an extended boost of comfort, encouragement, JOY and peace this year. Instead of rushing to take my CHRISTmas tree down, i decided to wait. One of my best holiday experiences was from a couple of years ago, when I left my tree up until Easter. With a few changes, it is the perfect all-CHRIST tree. I switched the lights from colored to white, and only left decorations reflecting Christ and my family.
I am now enJOYing some of my most peaceful nights, remembering and reflecting on the full story of Jesus Wouldn't you agree Christmas would mean nothing, if it weren't for Easter? Just like Easter would mean nothing, if we don't love the Lord with all our hearts, mind and soul, as well as love our neighbors as ourselves.
Father, thank You for Jesus... the baby, the man, my Savior, Your Son. You knew we required Him in all forms for all seasons and emotions... from joy to sorrow to humble thanks. May we remember it all with a heart full of love and service to You and others.
