This Christmas seems to be quite different from years past. The things that we once greatly appreciated about the season have been minimized or eliminated. He have experienced various forms of hopelessness, despair, and anxiety wondering if this Christmas season is even worth it. But what if there is a blessing in disguise. What if the opportunity to slow down, focus, simplify, and consider what matters most is actually a gift from Jesus? What if we allowed ourselves to consider the simple reason for this season? Jesus Christ. The truth is... Without Jesus, there is no real reason for Christmas. Let's refocus and get our minds back to that which is of first importance... Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
