SABRINA
I LOVE this season of the year. Yes, it brings tremendous stress, but there is just something in the air, so I’m always a little sad when it has come and gone. I long for the joy and excitement of the holiday spirit throughout the year.
Exactly, what IS this spirit? It is NOT simply found in the season. The
Bible tells us in Galatians 5:22. It is the Fruit of the Spirit
love
joy
peace
patience
kindness
goodness
faithfulness
gentleness and
self-control
We need to remember, this spirit is not just about the holiday season but a spirit we are offered throughout the year.
The holiday season, however is a time to be aware of the blessings of the spirit bestowed upon us and give the same spirit to others. In fact, perhaps those undeserving of the spirit - you know, those who have made poor life choices, who are hard to love, who have wronged us - those who are JUST like us - undeserving. What better time of year to mend hurts, reach out to those undeserving, have an awareness of needs around us. It is, after all, what God does for us, not JUST during the holiday season, but in ALL the seasons of our life!
