I found something that I needed when I was doing my Christmas shopping this year. So I bought it. I need to be reminded of this, because this is so very true:
God must just shake His head at our tendency to make our lives so complicated. We didn't get that from Him. He is a God of simplicity. He chose a simple, ordinary couple to be the earthly parents of His Son, the KING. He choose ordinary shepherds to spread the news of His long awaited arrival in a lowly, and probably smelly, manger. We can't impress God with our idea of accomplishments; we can only honor Him by serving Him, humbly, on His terms. Most of us have many more blessings than we deserve. We do. Here are a few of them:
We certainly have had struggles, frustration, sorrow, and pain this year, but we also have a God who never leaves us to deal with it alone.
We also have animals to provide comic relief:
We hope that the coming year provides you with all the blessings you deserve and even some that you don't.
We wish you a very Merry Christmas and a New Year of being TO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!
Amen!
