The holiday season is moving right along, keeping everyone busy shopping, planning, decorating, attending events, listening to Christmas carols, cooking, and baking.
It's a little bit stressful, too, trying to fit in all the hundreds of threads that make-up the season's blanket of love and peace.
That will be left up to arrival of three of my five grandkids, later in the week.
But the tiny manger shown at the top of this post, surrounded by very small sheep, is already set up on the top level (attic) of the dollhouse.
It's actually a very small tree ornament that was given years ago. Isn't it adorable?
May your weekend be completely blessed, despite all the long, (endless?) "to do" lists.
Remember to recall and concentrate on the real reason for the season.
Also, when stress rears its ugly head, trying to steal the joy of the season, remember to breathe deeply to relax.
Think profoundly of the immense blessings of the tiny Christ child.
HOW DO YOU DE-STRESS DURING THIS HOLIDAY SEASON?

I pray and concentrate on the real reason for the season. I take one day at a time and do what I can do . I need help with a tree and outside lights but my helpers are ill. No stress. They will be up and ready when all are healthy again.
I am facilitating a Bible study group, and our current focus is on the captivating book of Revelation. This journey has truly opened my eyes to the connections between the text and the Advent season we are in. The sense of anticipation for His second coming resonates deeply, highlighting a theme I hadn’t considered before. It’s fascinating how this period of waiting and hope aligns with the messages within Revelation. Last year it was John.
I enjoy studying the Bible, and it helps me and settles me down—I'm keeping my focus, and I'm feeling His peace. It's a beautiful time of year as long as I don't get ahead of myself.
Merry Christmas Susan
