Reminder to Self

This time of the year is one of my favorites. The atmosphere, decorations, and joy that seem to eminate from every person you interact with. I know I tend to get lost in the shopping, travel, and busyness, but this year I would like to remember the real reason for this time of the year: Jesus Christ. He was sent to this world as a tiny baby and born in the most lowly of places. God sent His son, His own flesh and blood, to the world to become the greatest sacrifice possible. This year, I want to remember what the true meaning and purpose of Christmas is: to honor and remember that God gave so much for me and I need to be joyful and remind myself how blessed I truly am.

Merry Christmas to each of you! Be joyful in the stress and remember there is peace to be found.

Love,
Jackie
