There are many people stressing at this time of year for many reasons. Some financially, some lonely, some experiencing a past or recent loss and others for unknown reasons. We must still try our best to focus on the reason for the season. Yes, Christmas has been commercialized, but we don't have to buy into the commercialism. We don't need to stress out for getting the right gifts for those special someones or wanting the right gift. Our gifts for each other are from the heart not the wallet. The greatest gift was given to us to receive eternal life. How great can God's love be for us? We must do our best to be patient and understanding towards each other not just during the holidays but throughout the year. It's not easy, believe me, I know! But we can try. I wish you all the very best for the new year.
We often look for excuses when things don’t go our way, shifting the blame onto others instead of taking responsibility for our own choices. But excuses only grow stronger the more we feed them. This same pattern shows up when it comes to doing what’s right—we stay silent, waiting for someone else to step forward, rather than holding ourselves accountable. “What’s your excuse now?” is a challenge to stop hiding behind hesitation and a sense of true comfort in our own skin.
