"If you do not stand firm in faith, you shall not stand at all." - Isaiah 7:9b
Dear Friends in Christ -
(Sung to the tune of 'Deck the Halls'. . . )
'Tis the season of preparation
Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
And the season of desperation
Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Early on we had such visions
Fa-la-la La-la-la La-la-la
Now we're running in all directions
Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la . . .
Trust yourself. You know what's good for yourself, for those around you. You know right now that half the things on your list won't get done, yet you let them stay there, tugging at your mind, draining your energy. Let your God-guided conscience lead the way. Be kind to yourself. Breathe deep.
Let today's Advent preparation include trimming the list so that you can be still, so that not only your house, but also your heart can be ready for the good things that God is bringing this Christmas.
Faithfully trimming the tree . . . and my own list!
Janet+
