Enough?

I know I know, it has been awhile and I know the title is almost the same. However, if you will stay with me for just a bit I think it will work.

It is THE HOLIDAY season.  Advent is almost here, turkeys are running scared or already in our refrigerators.  Plans have been made for Thanksgiving and are starting to take shape for Christmas. To do lists as well as shopping list have been started or possibly already checked off. Do you have enough time? Or does it feel like you have enough time? Will everything be accomplished?  Will dinner turn out right? Will you have enough food?  Will you have enough money to pay for everything?

Sometimes the irony of my thoughts and worries this time of year, cause me to laugh at myself and shake my head at my lack of trust and faith.  Christmas is when Jesus came to us.  When he came to us.  He is enough.  His grace is enough.  How do I forget so fast what the real meaning of this season is all about?  How is it so easy for me to take my gaze off of my Savior.  This world is full of bright and shiny things.  Full of LOUD distractions.  So many things can demand our attention.  But we have to choose.  We have to choose to be satisfied and content in our Heavenly Father.  We also have to trust him to provide for us, and see us through the hard and struggling times.

I wish you rest and peace and a FULLY blessed Holiday season!
God Bless
