Holiday Madness

Oh the holidays, such great gatherings but brings a great deal of stress. 

What is Thanksgiving and Christmas really about? 

So far it just looks like buying a bunch of stuff and going to obligations dinners with your best.

Expectations and guilt trips if you don't go are the two things I love the most.

Use all of your credit, take out a loan, better yet go broke over the ones that don't even live in your home.

If Thanksgiving is about being thankful for our family, drop the ads and ditch the sales.

If Christmas is about Jesus, then let's celebrate his love and the true meaning of this glorious day. 

Let's remember why we get together every year and return to the traditions of much earlier years. 

God Is Always At Work

What has God done in your life lately? "Nothing" some will simply say. God is always at work in our lives. We can't always see that because as humans we are so involved in ourselves instead of seeing the big picture. God could try to show one something, but one is too worried or simply distracted by other things. Sometimes, God will shake someone's life up to get their attention. He created us and he knows what we need. He also knows what we can and can't handle. He blesses people abundantly all the time, but when something good happens to a person the person thanks themself instead of God. Our testimonies could save someone else because everyone goes through something awful and struggles with certain things. He created us and loves us more than anything. :) May there be peace within each soul who is struggling to believe God doesn't do anything because he does. He can move a mountain! He can take away pain, restore peace and joy, heal sickness, anything you name it. If one's life is awful, all they have to do is change it. Call on Jesus and he will show up. 

"May you be blessed by The Lord, who made heaven and earth." Psalms 115:15 NLT.
