We 'all' seem to look for joy and peace at this time of year, it's on signs, in cards, on TV and the radio. Interesting enough it still seems hard to find. We go to the stores and buy what might be figured to get the perfect item only to find out it is the wrong brand, or not big enough or too large to fit, could even be the wrong color. We load up with food just to find out that we throw a lot out and that was a waste of money. We plan to fly somewhere but discover that the planes are all grounded. So where is that joy and peace that everyone talks about.
Hey!! it's Christmas, a season to celebrate. Celebrate WHAT? Try celebrating the first part of Christmas, the part that says Christ. We do, we haven't given any presents at Christmas for 52 years or more, but spend time to find out what real peace and joy is/are. We eat well and visit when/where possible, but do spend time to visit with the One who the celebration should be all about, for then we have peace in our hearts and joy in our lives for we have a grand future.
May you all find the peace and joy that is yours for the asking and once you know it, share it with others. Best part is: it's free and once you have it nobody can take it away.
