And the JOYful race is on.........................

Thanksgiving behind....Christmas ahead!  Do you have your running shoes on?

We do get so busy during this season, don't we?  And it's all good "stuff"!  Christmas parties with family and friends, church programs, school-related events, office get-togethers---just to name a few of the things that the season brings! 

And then, of course, there's the shopping and baking and decorating and cleaning and wrapping of gifts and traveling and.................................OH, MY!  No wonder we need our running shoes on!

Okay, friend!  I need your help! Will you PLEASE remind me that all the above mentioned "stuff" is just THAT: s-t-u-f-f!  And it's not the really important "stuff".  If we get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the holidays, we might never find our Christmas-flavored JOY JUICE!  And that's what we should be sipping on daily...the JOY of JESUS!

So, as siblings in Christ, let's encourage one another to keep our eyes on the REASON we celebrate Christmas:  "Thanks be unto God for his indescribable gift!!!!!"  The JOYful gift called JESUS!
