Christmas Sanity

" He sees you when you're sleeping".

Sleeping? Every women knows that at this time of year there is no sleeping,

or at the least, very little. There are to-do lists to prepare and revise, cookies to bake,

gifts to buy and wrap, sewing, holiday clothes to buy and keep clean, parties to prepare and attend, etc,etc,etc.

How? How do we fit in the reason for Christmas? How do we daily include Christ

in the celebration of His birthday?

Here is some food or cookies if you please, for thought.

As the flour is flying out of the mixer you turned on high, offer a prayer for 

for the farmers working hard to provide our food. Add the chocolate chips

with a prayer for the truck drivers delivering them to the store. Thank God for the creative minds of inventors for your stove and those new silicone gloves.

Shoved, bump, dirty look... Yep a prayer for that person to find peace.

An extra pair of socks for the needy would not break the budget, as you shop 

for those you love. Send those socks on their way with a prayer for a better life.

As you settle down on Christmas Eve, surrounded by the guardian angels in your 

house ( yes they are present). Thank them for their protection.

Christ is present everywhere. We need to acknowledge His presence and send others

some of His love from us.

Merry Christmas! I am praying for you.
