Christmas Blurrrrr.
It is easy to feel that way about the most wonderful time of the year. It comes and goes so fast and every thing seems like a blurr. This Christmas I have taken the time to stop and reflect on the goodness of God. We are rich in Christ and when I focus on that I appreciate all I have so much more. When I don't focus on
Christ I find my mind slips into that comparison mentality I look around and see all the stuff that everyone keeps adding to there already huge piles, and I want to compare and say my piles not big enough. I need more stuff on my pile. Most of the stuff I have is not essential to my life It's just stuff and we like stuff (I like stuff). Especially the newest and the latest stuff, First stuff the stuff that nobody else has.
Now I don't think stuff is bad but what is bad is the mind set that I deserve more stuff, or that God owes me stuff. Or that if only I had this or that my life would be complete. I am complete in Christ and I like Paul want to find my peace and contentment in Him. Whether in rich or poor I can be content with who I am and what I own and don't own. My relationship to God the Father through Jesus Christ my Lord is the only true calming effect on my life and the only one that can take the blurr out of Christmas, and replace it with clear vision and thinking and I like that.
