✟ Don't put away Jesus with the Christmas decorations & a HUGE announcement!
Intentional Inspirations Newsletter - 12/29/23
This week’s newsletter is going to be short and sweet. Below is something I wrote one morning this week. I shared it on social media, but wanted to share it with you here as well. Be sure you don’t miss out on the freebies below AND the big announcement I am so excited about. Have a great holiday weekend!
The days following Christmas for some reason always seem a little dreary. The excitement of Christmas is over, the gifts all opened, the leftovers mostly eaten, and what is left is all the clean up -- unpacking suitcases if you traveled over the holidays, catching up on laundry, putting gifts away, and then the task of putting all the Christmas decorations away and getting the house back in order.
But one thought hit me this morning as I sat thinking about all that needed to be done and "put away" today -- will I also be putting away Jesus as I pack up the decorations?
Or will I see the task of putting away the Christmas decorations as only the beginning of another year to grow spiritually, and to serve and obey Jesus my Savior?
Christmas is not the end of something, but the reminder of what began when Jesus came. It is so tempting to think that when Christmas is past, that it is "over", "done". But it has only just begun!
As I sit here this morning, I am challenged to think of ways that I want to grow in my walk with Jesus this year.
What is my plan to read more of the Bible this year?
Will I do more in-depth study of certain passages or topics?
How will I serve my family better as I "walk as Jesus walked"?
How will I be a better friend and sister in Christ to my family and friends?
What is my plan to spend more time in prayer this year?
My challenge to you (and me) is to take some time to consider these things. As you are packing up the Christmas decorations and catching up on the housework, don't think of these tasks as the "end" of something, but the beginning of another year to serve Jesus and to continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of Him!
Take care. Don't fear. Trust God!
Blessings,
