How does your family celebrate Christmas?
While at an FSS group the other night we all shared ideas on how we make it through the holiday without going crazy or ending up terribly depressed. What do we focus on and what occupies our time during the Christmas season?
Christmas is usually always a time for families to get together and enjoy each other's presence. Others, like single parent families are left on their own during this time. Some people focus on what they don't have rather than having an attitude of gratitude for all that they do have. Ultimately, our focus should be on enjoying God's presence, but so often we turn to the presence of PRESENTS instead. I snagged this video clip from Jason Eliason's Thrive Blog. It really gets me asking questions... and hopefully answering those questions too.
Lord, I pray that you help all of us look at Christmas with a different perspective! With Your perspective. I pray this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.... The reason for the season! AMEN!! Merry Christmas!
