Verse of the Day: James 1:19

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry

Even during this most wonderful time of the year, many find themselves stressed and hurried, which can sometimes lead to less kindness and patience. As Christians, let’s not lose sight of what this season is truly about and strive to set an example of Christlike love and grace.

For many, the holidays can be a particularly challenging time, filled with stress over busy schedules, financial pressures, gift-giving expectations, and even struggles with anxiety or depression. In the middle all of the hustle and bustle, let’s make a conscious effort to be patient, kind, and slow to anger with everyone we encounter.

Christmas is a time of joy and spreading kindness doesn’t cost a thing. If you feel stress or frustration creeping in, pause, take a deep breath, say a prayer, and refocus your heart on the Lord and the true reason for the season. By showing love and grace, we reflect the light of Christ to those around us, reminding everyone of the hope and joy this season brings.
