Slowing Down

Take the time to focus on what really matters this season. It can be so busy and stressful for most families during this season. Take time to tell your family about the true meaning of Christmas- Jesus's birth. Read the Christmas story from one of the Gospels. Take the time to listen to your children. Play a game with them. Read them a book. Sing Christmas carols with them or as a family. Get in the car and go look at all the Christmas lights in your area. There are so many fun things to do this time of year, but don't try to do everything. Make time for each other and share the love of Christ as you do. You'll be thankful that you did.
