Reflection

One thing I'm determined to do this Christmas season is take time for reflection.

Usually it's non-stop busyness and do, do, do.

You know how long the "To Do" lists can get.

Some nights it's easy to fall into bed totally exhausted.

Well, this year I plan to pace myself.

There's a yearning to just sit and listen to the quiet.

To gaze into the firelight and have a heart equally warm with gratitude.

Decorating, baking, entertaining, singing, shopping, wrapping, and so on are all wonderfully fun but so is spending time with the Baby Jesus.

Time after time, I must remind myself that He, after all, is the reason for the season.

HOW DO YOU TAKE TIME TO REFLECT DURING THE HOLIDAYS?
