Christmas Time.....again

So Christmas season in upon us. The music, shopping decorations, rushing to and fro. How can we avoid getting rolled over by the activity? Remembering the "reason for season"? Perhaps....but I think it is more that just remembering. We are CELEBRATING!!! The joy of the birth of the king is our to share! That is point we miss. The music and fuss might be annoying, if we allow it. Don't let it sap your joy. If you need help with the joy aspect,, read Phillipians. Paul writes this with a barrel full of joy. Keep in mind that he writes this from Prison! We enjoy Christmas in our nice warm houses and we still allow the irrelevant things of life sap us. 2 verses to consider, Phil4:6-7..you and God cannot worry about the same problem at the same time. Also, ch4v13, I can do anything through Christ who strengthens me. So take that Christmas lights!
