Moving Day
One of the things in life that I don’t like is moving!!! The worst part about moving is packing all the stuff and then saying to your friends, “HEY! Would you like to come help me move all my stuff?”This past week as we began the process of packing and moving, I sat down in the middle of my garage. Feeling overwhelmed with the mess and chaos that surrounded me, I had to take a break! I sat in my garage for what seemed like an hour and was so overwhelmed I could not move or pick up another thing. But in the midst of all the stuff, I remembered God’s words. “Peace I leave with you; my Peace I give you!”
Have you ever had those moments in life where it feels like you are surrounded by chaos? Where you feel like no matter what you do there is more and more? Most of us begin to feel like that around the Christmas season because of all the stuff we have going and all the plans that have to be made. If you begin to feel like I did that day in my garage, remember there is peace in the midst of chaos! Christ is our peace, and this Christmas season, please don’t forget to just stop, sit, and thank Christ for the peace He has given us! Life will probably never slow down, but in the midst of all the things we have to do we can find rest in peace in Christ!
Merry Christmas,
