Having peace during this time of year may seem crazy or ridiculous. All the extra demands we put on ourselves can lead us to be a little less than peaceful. I do appreciate those special days when I take a step back and enjoy the moment. It might not be the perfect Hallmark moment of sitting in front of a fire and sipping hot cocoa, however having that inner peace does bring a certain calmness to stressful situations. I have to remind myself of this often....that's because I tend to be a impatient person who really has to focus on having a peaceful heart:)
" Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present you requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:4-7
When we focus on Him and know that He can make everything manageable, those stresses and anxieties will be left leaving us with an inner calmness and PEACE!
