Christmas blues?

Sometimes the Christmas season can be hard. "Merry Christmas" is memorized but not felt. Busyness and high expectations leave us feeling anxious. You see frowning, stressed people and realize you are looking in the mirror! Is it time to refocus?

Take a moment to consider yourself before the manger. You are meeting God! How can we not respond with awe, celebration, and tremendous gratitude at this Gift. God was thinking of you when He sent his only Son. Above anything else, or any feelings that come with Christmas, this good news trumps all. What can bring us more joy than knowing God loves us that much. "Today a Savior is born for you, He is Christ the Lord."
