Are you looking for love? Or are you listening to hate?
Long lines of traffic and at the check out.
Forgotten or lost gifts.
Late packages.
Cranky kids (and parents!)
How will you react? Will you focus on the negative? or will you look for the good?
Luke 2:10 reminds us: "I bring you Good News that will cause great joy for all the people."
Imagine the circumstances Joseph and Mary had to manage on that first Christmas:
Stinky shepherds leaning over the newborn King? Probably
Dirty animals moving around the stable, doing what animals do? Most likely
Were the swaddling cloths light blue to indicate a newborn boy? I doubt it.
Did they have plenty to complain about? They sure did! BUT>>>The Messiah, the Savior of the World, had just been born - just as God promised! That was Good News! That still causes great joy today! For allllll people! Even you in your circumstances!
Look for love. It's God's Christmas gift to you! :)
