Are you finding it difficult to find Comfort & Joy in this Christmas season my friend?
Has it all become rather overwhelming?
In the busyness of this season I invite you to take a little breather & join me in a relaxing cuppa.
I have a hot mug of Spicy Christmas tea (so delicious) ready for us & a little Short crust fruit mince tart for our treat.
So let’s put our feet up as we reflect & sip awhile…
An Epiphany
Many years ago I came to the realisation that the Spirit of Christmas is not in the material things that the media & marketing world would have us believe it is.
Nor, is it in the latest gift ideas, nor in the perfect tree & decorations, it’s not in the food we serve or even the people we celebrate with!
You see all these things while traditional & may make us feel warm & fuzzy.
Or stressed out & overwhelmed…are not what Christmas is actually about!
Christmas is about joy & comfort…Comfort & joy!
Let me explain…
- Joy that mankind has been gifted the Prince of Peace from that very first Christmas night ~ Jesus the Christ
- Joy in the good news of Christ’s message Peace on earth...
- Joy that the ultimate relationship He came to give is open to all today Ladies & Gentlemen!
&
- Comfort that through Jesus, also known as Immanuel, God is with us.
- Comfort that He has already defeated the enemy of our souls through the Easter experience.
- Comfort that He has promised that He will return…soon!
So although the last few years have been extremely overwhelming for us all, with a Pandemic that keeps on giving, it doesn’t change those facts above!
Let’s dwell upon the importance of Christ in this Christmas season for a few more moments…
“For God so loved the world
that He gave His one & only Son,
so that whomsoever believes
in Him [Jesus Christ] shall not perish
but have life eternal.”
John 3:16
Christmas isn’t just a season
it’s a relationship
for eternity!
May you come to know His peace, joy & comfort not just in this season my friend but in all the seasons to come, how to do this is shared here.
Until next time,
Jennifer
