Stress During The Holidays

 

  

    While it is great joy for family and friends to gather together for the holidays, be sure to take time out of all your busy preparations to enjoy the very precious family members you are serving.

    It is far too easy to become so busy, even fall behind your schedule that before you have completed every item on your to-do list, you have missed out on the LORD'S blessings altogether.  Remember what transpired between the attitudes and actions of Martha and Mary:



"But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!"  "Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed.  Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."

Luke 10:40-42

 

  
Even though there is so much to do, the reason for the Season is JESUS and HE has brought your family and friends to gather with for fun and celebration during the holidays.  Don't let stress ruin everything for you.  Don't miss out being with those you love the most.  Resemble the weather outside and - 'chill out'!
