“On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night. Because You are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wing. “Psalm 63:6-7

Distractions come in wide-eyed moments of wonder. We allow unsettled thoughts to rob us of needed peace. In the quiet of the hour, time passes quickly and leads us far away from the quiet of Christmas calm. 

God hears our groans, as we open our eyes in wakeful moments. He comforts and provides the way for us to feel the strength of His presence. He cradles us in care and helps us feel the power of His mercy and amazing grace. 

The Christmas season will bring stress. We will get caught up in hectic routines and forget to focus on the reason for the season. But, God will quiet our souls. He will help prepare our hearts to welcome Jesus. And, when we have returned to a peaceful state of calm, He will remind us why we will ALWAYS be held by His holiness. 

God is a good, good Father who knows our every need. We must TRUST Him in the guiding of our days. He will help us make room for Jesus and allow peace that passes all understanding to help us find wonderful Christmas JOY. 

Dear God, Thank you for allowing us to discover Christmas peace. You understand the heart of our need. Thank you for Jesus! We will lift our hearts and praise the One who was sent to save. And, we will never forget where to find Christmas calm. Amen
