I've created this Christmas Kit for you, with a purpose in mind! The stores are starting to put 'stuff' out there, to get you to start thinking of 'buy, buy, buy!' but I would like to start thinking about the REAL meaning. Every year seems to be spinning faster and faster, and it gets harder to focus on what is important - the reason Christmas is here and how we want this to be celebrated in our own families.
Though I work very hard to keep a balance, and to truly bring the meaning alive, somehow, I always know I could have done just a bit more - more of the spiritual and less of the commercial. So this year, I will devote some prayer to this purpose alone. Won't you take the challenge to get closer to God and base your upcoming holiday season on this idea? If we pray daily, even though our plans may not go perfectly smooth, we will have the important bases covered. Lets invite God to be our guest of honor - as it should be!
A day hemmed in prayer is less likely to unravel.
Phillipians 4:6 6-7
Pray about everything...
If you do this you will experience God's peace...
His peace will keep your thougths
and your hearts quiet and at rest.
By the way - this kit design was inspired by my last trip to the thrift store. I saw this snazzy little diamond belt - OF COURSE I ended up buying it - (for 50 cents no less) I loved the shape of the buckle part, and so voila - it's yours. Enjoy!
