Is it headache time or what? Rushing around, end of year school functions, Christmas parties to go to, making sure I at least start a Christmas shopping list, etc, etc. And trying to keep a peaceful smile not just on my face but in my heart. This is where "the rubber meets the road" as they say. Am I a peaceful, encouraging, trusting person who does not let stress get to me? For as it says in scripture: "Do not worry what to wear... do not worry about tomorrow for today has enough worry of its own." "In ALL things (did you hear that - ALL) trust in God." Jesus came into this world to give us peace and as he was leaving his disciples he reiterated this: "And peace I leave with you." May we extend this peace to all we meet in this "busy stressful" time of Christmas. And most importantly be peaceful within yourself. As my wise Mum used to say - leave it, relax, the housework (whatever work it is) will always be there for later - take time out and get that peace and if it's impossible, then take a deep relaxing breath of fresh air (and the spirit) , hold for 5 seconds and be at peace. |
