“We can complain because
rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.”
―Abraham Lincoln
I love this quote. It
really speaks to us about perspective. As we transition our focus to
Christmas may we focus on the positive and not the negative. Let us be known as
givers and not takers.
If we are Jesus to the
world, then let all our actions, words, and thoughts be His as well.
May this Christmas
season be one that we will rejoice that “the Lord has come” and now lives in
us. Amen?
