“T’is the season to be jolly, tra la la la la la la la la”.

It’s the wonderful Christmas season. A time for looking back on the year and although hard for many it’s important for us to be thankful for the many blessings of God. Often those blessings have gone unnoticed because of our busyness of life but in the midst of our daily lives God blesses us every day. Each day of the year is a ‘season to be jolly’ as we can find joy in every situation as God promises “in His presence is FULLNESS of joy.”

We have moved into the country this year and I continually see the lush green paddocks and think of the words of the 23rd Psalm “He makes me lie down in green pastures.” What are green pastures to a sheep? EVERYTHING they need. Let’s rest in the fact that there is always an abundance to meet our every need. As we continue to agree with God’s promises for us we will see them come to pass. Agreeing with what God says about us personally, about our families, about our situations, about our future will bring us into such peace so we can continue to live in the joy He has provided for us. “Thank you Jesus for your birth and your life and all it means for each of us. YOU ARE THE REASON FOR THE SEASON.”
