The nativity scenes, the music, the lights, the decorations, the shopping, the parties, sometimes the snow, the movies, and of course the food are what make Christmas, Christmas, for me. It's not the actual day, it's the build up, the excitement for the coming of the actual day that makes me happiest. I love staring at the tree, listening to Christmas music, thinking of how much fun getting together with family and friends will be. Thinking of my kids and how much fun they are going to have in the coming days.
It seems as though I need a wake up call this year. I've been letting life's problems get me down, making this season not as bright. I've been dwelling on the bad, instead of the good, not trusting that God is putting the pieces together in a perfect and beautiful life puzzle, just like He always has and will. I need to focus the lens of my life on what I have, not what I want, because what I have is so good, and way more than I need or deserve.
Why do I always drown myself in the sorrows of my problems, forgetting that God has never failed to provide? When I remember His provisions and everything He does, His peace surrounds me and I feel like myself again. I am able to celebrate and focus on the good stuff which makes life so much better!
So, here's to getting a better focus and holding onto it for the coming year! Happiness focused.
