The Magic of Christmas

Think back to your first memories of Christmas with your family. The older we are the farther back that is. I can remember coming downstairs on Christmas morning and seeing a stack of presents under the piano. We never had a Christmas tree growing up. I'm not sure if it was because we couldn't afford it or because it was just an unnecessary expense, either way it was normal not to have a tree. My parents were very ‘no frills’ people.

There is peace in trusting God

There is comfort in trusting God is in control of your life. If you can truly leave everything in His capable hands, the stress of life and the worry of things yet to come can be gone. We can stress over a pending situations or get upset over current conditions, but in the end, whether we believe it or not, whether we like it or not, God's will, will be done. He is the Almighty and we have no way to change his mind. We can start to think about a situation hoping this 'person' could do this which might persuade this decision to be made in my favor, or maybe I could encourage this course of action or non-action. But once again we try to do God's job and decide our future. No matter the outcome of anything, God is in control, and really knows what he is doing, AND for our good. No evil or bad thing comes from God.



There is peace in knowing God. I mean the kind of knowing him when you can leave things in His hands and really leave them there, not thinking about them, not fretting about them, just leaving them there.
