In the busyness of the holiday season, let’s not forget the true meaning of Christmas.
This is my family at Memphis Zoo Lights 2022. We started a new tradition recently of having a family Christmas outing every year (like those field trips my boys used to have in elementary school.) Then I use pictures from the field trip to create Christmas cards to send out to family and friends.
Family, fun, food… what can be better?
We’ve all heard the saying “Family is Everything”, and it really is. So take some time to reflect on what’s important in life. Make time for those closest to you and enjoy the merriment and wonder of the season. But most importantly, never forget that Jesus is the reason for the season. His birth was part of God’s display of His love for us.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6
God did indeed give us the greatest gift of all! #LOVE!
What traditions do you have with your family to celebrate the holidays? If you don’t carve out time to spend with loved ones, let me encourage you to try it. Family field trips are fun. Just look at all of us piled into one car on our way to Memphis Zoo Lights. And yes, I had my Motown Christmas CD playing in the car.
