A friend asked, “How are we supposed to have the joy of Christmas when so many people are fearful and feel hopeless?” She had a point, didn't she? If we listen to the news and look around us joy seems to be in scarce supply. If we get stuck there we might miss the whole point of Christmas.
Reasons to thank God in every circumstance
Another official Thanksgiving Day is upon us. Just the name of this holiday reminds us it’s all about giving thanks.
Even in 2020.
Even when we’re feeling down because our long-awaited family gathering may not happen.
Even though we’re tired of this routine and we need to do more than Zoom and Facetime our way through life.
Priorities
have about 15 minutes of “sacred time” in the morning. That is the amount of time I have between handing the kids off to my wife so I can take a shower and get ready for the day. That time is vital as it gives me the chance to be alone, in the hot water, surrounded by white noise and generally it is uninterrupted.
