KRISTINA

Good Morning! My name is Kristina Crabtree, and I am the Pastor for Mission and Evangelism at Central United Methodist Church.

It is that time of year. Christmas music playing in the stores, deals advertising on tv, the hustle and bustle of Christmas seems to be approaching us sooner and sooner each year.

We are only a few days from Thanksgiving! When I think of the time changing, and season changing, the one word I can think of is stress. This time of the year can be so stressful when in the grand sweep of things.  This time of the year is supposed to be about being thankful and filled with joy.

Can I encourage you today with three ways to be less stressed during the most wonderful time of the year? If this is you right now, stop what you are doing. Take a deep breath. And receive. The first thing, you don’t have to do it all. Second, you don’t have to do it perfectly, and third, you don’t have to make all the best choices, provide the best experiences, or present the best opportunities. Things will get done.
Don’t allow stress to steal the joy of the season! Realistically no family can do it all. Let us invite Jesus to help us have joy during the most wonderful time of the year! Have a great day!
