Is it just me....or are you kind of feeling crazed--like this dog? Okay, but starting right now, I'm going to do something about it.
Important announcement: (Loud and annoying clearing of throat)
The management at Marythekay.com would like for you to know that customer service may be a little spotty over here for a while. In other words, I'm going to focus on having fun with my family until the New Year. Oh, you know me and my tendency for OCD...I won't be able to stay away totally. I'm sure I'll post a couple of times before then.
In the meantime, I sure hope YOU are enjoying some time with your loved ones, too. Also, I hope you are taking some time to slow down, and remember why we celebrate this whole season anyway. I get so busy, and so wrapped up in my whirlwind agenda each day that I lose sight of the sweet little baby, who came to our crazy sinful world--just because He loves me, and wants to save me from the crazy sinful world that I get so caught up in...
This crazy sinful world sure can stress me out sometimes, make me sad, or lonely, or so angry I can't even think straight. Sometimes this old world can make me say things I don't really mean deep down, or get my feelings hurt, or feel so tired and overwhelmed that I can't imagine ever getting ahead. Sometimes this world is just downright mean.
Oh, but that little baby, who came because He loves me, is like a warm glowing candle. The crazy sinful world doesn't seem so terrible when it has the golden light shining around it. Even when things seem dark, I can look for the candle, feel its warmth, and find my way.
My prayer for you this season, is that you slow down enough to remember the baby. And feel the warmth of His love in your life. Because, when you boil it all down, that's what this whirlwind life is all about: Love.
I sure hope you know about that kind of Love.
