Well, the hype and hustle and bustle of another Christmas season is behind us. And now we turn our focus to plans for the new year. And I can’t help but be encouraged by the fact that the true “reason for the season” doesn’t fade with the hype. The Christ in the manger is the Christ of the cross, and He is the Christ in my heart. So after the Nativity is put away and the new year begins with new plans and goals, He will still be with me. He is the same today as He was yesterday, as He was when He was a babe in Bethlehem.
And that makes me smile. It gives me a peace that passes understanding and a new resolve to live for Him in the coming year!!
What are your thoughts and feelings as another holiday season passes? Do you struggle with a feeling of sadness and let down as all the hustle and bustle fade? What helps you to focus your heart on Christ at this time?
