The Most Wonderful Time of the Year


The air has turned cool and the leaves are beginning to fall.  That means fall has finally arrived.  Things begin to change and schedules become full with more and more events, as everyone tries to cram in everything they can.  However, we call this the most wonderful time of the year.  Sounds a little crazy or backwards, but it is so true.  It seems like we would want our lives to slow down and have less to do in order to say this is the most wonderful time of the year.  Instead, our lives become more complicated and crazy and for some reason we still look forward to it.  It’s when we will spend more time with family and friends.  We focus in on all that we have received and how we have been blessed.  We are reminded to be thankful for all He’s done.  It’s that time of year that we focus in on the birth of Christ and the true reason behind the season – Jesus.  In the midst of this season make sure you stop and remember why we are thankful and the reasons we celebrate.  Psalm 46:10 – tells us to, “be still, and know that I am God.”  In the midst of the craziness, as we are all running around, stop, and remember, stop and refocus on the reason for the season.  In the midst of the craziness don’t leave God behind.
for the journey, 

Mike
