Already!!!

Have you noticed that this year not only is the retail world adorning their shelves and commercials towards Christmas now at the same time as Halloween, but we as a collective group seems to be more anxious to put up our own Christmas decorations?

I have heard people griping for years about the fact that the retail world, minus the grocery stores, has rushed over Thanksgiving without a thought in pressure to start the Christmas Holiday shopping season!

I am not big on Halloween, and I try and be thankful every day…so bringing in Christmas early has never bothered me, but this year, it feels different! Hurried!!! Needed!!!

We are living in a weird and rough time. Inflation is full-blown, and people are suffering. Fear of the unknown is rampant; tomorrow feels daunting, and today, people are scared and struggling.

This is just my opinion but…

We, as a people, are ushering in Christmas earlier this year because whether you believe in the true meaning of Christmas, which is the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, or just get swept away in the spirit of the season, which again is the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. We desperately need the hope, love, joy, festivities, glitter, and sparkle that arrives in December!

Matthew 1:21 NIV “She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”

Luke 2:11 NIV “Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.”

Luke 2:14 NIV “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

Isaiah 9:6 NIV “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

And I think it’s right there in a nutshell…Prince of Peace! We are all looking for joy, smiles, good times, and peace.

Thank you, Father God, for the gift and salvation of your son Jesus Christ!

Jesus, we celebrate You and your birth this month of December

Let the Holidays begin!❤️

Thank you for sharing some time in Sunshine and may your Sunday be a blessed and peaceful one! ☀️❤️🥰
