Christmas Day

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

Isaiah 9:6 · ESV

Lord, thank You. Whatever this year took, it did not take this. A child is born and the government is on His shoulders, not mine. Let me rest in that today. Give me presence with the people around me and gratitude for the gift that no layoff can touch. Merry Christmas. Amen.

One step: Say a real thank-you to God before the gifts, and mean it.
