Too Blessed to be Stressed

This time of year many people are stressed to the max. I keep repeating to myself that I am "Too Blessed to be Stressed!"

Sure, my shopping isn't done. Gifts that need to be mailed aren't out yet. Thousands of bows that I make for the gift wrap department at the mall aren't even started. (We raise money for local children suffering from a catastrophic illness and their families.)

So, am I STESSSSSSSSSED?

NO! ..... I am not!

I know from years of experience, that it all gets done. Maybe not the Martha Stewart or Norman Rockwell picture perfect way... But, in my own way, it gets done.

I stopped trying to be perfect a long time ago. Now, I rely on the only perfect one.

He supplies all my needs. He gets it all done in His timing not mine.

He attends to all the details. I just follow His lead and we do just fine.

"Letting go and letting God" was very difficult for me. Cause I thought I could always get things done, on time and perfect. But when your age and body slows you down, you come to rely on "The Source."

He is "The Source" of my comfort and strength. "The Source" of my calm in any storm. "  The Source" of my very being.

Keep Christ in Christmas.

Keep Christmas alive in your heart.

Spread Peace, Love, and Joy all around during the year.

Keep it as your daily prayer, an affirmation, and the song within your heart. "Let there be Peace on Earth, and let it begin with me!"

May God Bless you all, this holiday season, and for many years to come.

Remember we are "Too Blessed to be Stressed" so have a "Merry Christmas!" one and all.
