This is going to be a super short post but...
I was inspired by Maggie to read Luke with the Christmas season and last night I read Luke 10:38-42 and thought about how it was such a reflection of all of the women in my family over Christmas-being busy with all of the cooking, decorating, shopping, etc. and esp. on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Then this morning on the Proverbs 31 email the verse of the day was:
"But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made." Luke 10:40
If you read further Jesus tells Martha that she is worried by many things but in essence she only needs one thing that will never be taken away-Him.
So like everyone says-lets not forget the reason for the season, as corny as that sounds it's so true. He really is the gift that keeps on giving and He is the best gift we have ever received.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE! I am so thankful to have each of you in my life and am truly blessed for our friendship. I hope that all of y'all have a wonderful Christmas and I can't wait for Bible Study to start back up when we all get back in town.
Love love love,
august :)
