Christmas Creation.....

Christmas season is stressful, long, and crazy. Going to all the family gathering or grazings, parties, malls, stores, etc.. You get the point I am sure. I guess every year I tell myself I am going to do things differently and not get caught up in all the hype for spending mass amounts of money and feeling my blood pressure go through the roof. But I still find away to stay in it for another season, another year. I wonder how this time of year became so accellerated? It just seems like it is more intense than ever-I mean just everything to do with everything. Pressure to be best dad, mom, uncle, boss, etc.. I think it may have something to do with me being distant from the reason for the season-Jesus. I have been lazy for God but have been working like mad for everything else and again God takes a back seat or maybe the way back seat. I can feel the caos growing the more days go by without spending time with God.
So What? When I feel like giving up with everything around me closing in I can take rest in Him-God- to give me the peace I so need. We celebrate Christmas every year and mostly for the giving and getting. The real reason is Jesus. He was born for one reason to die a sinless life and be the perfect sacrifice for me and you. All we have to do is ask for Jesus to come into our hearts because we need Him too. To clean us up because we cant do it ourselves. When we do that he promises to never leave.
