Episode Summary:

In today's episode, I share how often the buzz of tasks and worries surrounding the Christmas holiday can distract us from truly understanding and appreciating the true meaning of this season. She points out how we can replace our stress and worries with peace by turning to scriptures and spending some quiet time with the same Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, and Prince of Peace kids learn about during Christmas. She also encourages listeners to extrapolate this practice to their daily lives.

Key Points:

  • Christmas is more than just gifts and food, it is a time to celebrate the birth of Jesus, the Prince of Peace.

  • Often, individuals may feel overworked and stressed during this holiday season, losing sight of its true purpose.

  • We can replace work with rest, busyness with blessedness, and worry with peace by focusing on the wonderful counselor, the mighty God, the eternal Father, and the Prince of Peace.

  • Finding quiet moments in the morning, even for 60 seconds, to focus on faith can prove beneficial to individuals seeking peace.

  • The peace of God is wholeness: encompassing health, healing, life enjoyment.

  • It is important to prioritize and shift the calendar to make room for and remember what matters most during the holiday season.
