'Tis the Season for JOY


           Have you had your Joy Juice today?  Tis the season to be jolly…fa la la la la, la la la la!

            It’s that time of year to hear Christmas music everywhere we go! However… Some folks might choose to rewrite this familiar Christmas tune, singing “Tis the season to be tired or stressed or even…sad.”  I’m pretty sure that we all prefer to be jolly and joyful, but sometimes circumstances threaten to steal the JOY out of our Christmas.  Things like:

  • Sickness
  • Loss
  • Grief
  • Finances
  • Wayward children
  • Broken relationships
  • And just plain BUSYNESS!

  Our holidays are often filled with a variety of emotions.  Though your heart may be burdened as you face this Christmas season, let’s be reassured that God knows exactly what we are going through…and HE CARES.  He gave us His Son, Jesus, to live among us and to die for us.  He did that out of selfless, boundless love for you and me.

            We should take our burdens to Him. He wants to whisper words of comfort, strength, love and joy into your heart.  “He who has ears to hear, let Him hear.” Jesus said that over and over again in the New Testament.

        Open your heart & your spiritual ears…you may just hear Him singing, “Tis the season to celebrate the joy of Jesus.”

            May God bless you with a joyous Christmas season.
