“An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up.” ~ Proverbs 12:25
Does this sound familiar? It's how I ended my last post. We're coming up on Christmas, and while this should be the happiest time of the year, we often feel anxious.
One way to lessen our anxiety is to focus on what Christmas is truly about. Jesus came to save us from our sins so we could spend eternity with him.
Isaiah 9:6 ~(KJV) "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, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."
Keeping our eyes on Jesus will help lessen the big and small frustrations we face everyday.
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” ~ Matthew 6:34
I hope you have a minute you to spare and can enjoy this song. I think you'll be blessed.

Jackie, thank you for sharing this song...my favorite Christmas carol. You are right about some Christmas seasons not being as joyful as we anticipated, but focusing on the true meaning of the birth of our Lord gives us hope and comfort. May your family have a blessed Christmas!
