Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words. St. Francis of Assisi

Tuesday, December 14, 2010

Well, the Christmas season is upon us and all the busyness that seems to go along with it has really hit my household.

Sometimes I just need to take a time out and find some peace in the midst of it all.

When you think about that, it's rather ironic. 

This holiday is supposed to be about Jesus; a celebration of his birth.  And wasn't it Jesus who said:

"Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful." John 14.27

and here He said:

"Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS."  Matthew 11.29

Rest & peace.  A beautiful gift from God.

Right now, I am listening to the Christmas station on Pandora Radio.  I particularly like the Folk Holiday station.  Just acoustic, holiday music.  Lovely.

Stop for just a few minutes today and close your eyes.  Seek rest and peace from the only true Source there is.

And enjoy some lovely holiday music.  Music really does tame the beast....

God bless.
