Peace On Earth
Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.
I find it interesting that, at a time when we sing about “peace on earth,” it can be hard to find peace anywhere. People are beginning to be stressed by holiday preparation, last minute food and gift purchases, making sure the house is ready for guests, and a myriad of other things. Yet what a testimony it would be if we would take the time in the midst of our hectic schedules to look to our loving Father and ask Him for peace and for guidance. Stress seems to be a result of trying to do things ourselves instead of letting God help us.
If you’re beginning to feel overwhelmed and you find yourself feeling anything but peaceful, why don’t you stop, take a deep breath, and ask God to help you? The gifts and the meal won’t mean much to your family if you’ve been “biting their heads off.” The atmosphere of the home is what they will remember for years and that is the most important part. If this is truly a day we’ve given to Christ, His presence should be felt and His purposes accomplished. Let’s make sure to keep at the forefront of our minds the purpose of this time and choose to be a blessing in EVERYTHING we do.
