Merry Christmas
Today, I’d like to take a moment to wish everyone reading this a Merry Christmas!
Christmas is a unique season for me, as I make it a point to spend more quality time with family and savor a slightly slower pace.
‘Tis the season to express gratitude to our creator for the miracle of Jesus’s birth.
At times, we become so engrossed in exchanging gifts, indulging in food, and, of course, managing work that we neglect to pause and express gratitude to God for all the blessings bestowed upon us.
Consider this: a little over two thousand years ago, the Virgin Mary conceived a son through the Holy Spirit. Her fiancé planned to divorce her quietly until an angel of the Lord appeared and revealed that the child she carried was from God, instructing him to name the child Jesus.
Jesus entered the world to usher in peace and unite his “father’s flocks.” He arrived with a clear mission and purpose.
When was the last time you discovered your mission or purpose? Do you know what they are? Have they ever evolved or shifted over time?
For me, my mission is to faithfully serve God, be a dedicated father, a loving husband, and uphold trustworthiness in both business and personal relationships. However, before I was married, being a loving husband wasn’t part of my mission. Similarly, excelling as a father wasn’t a priority at that time.
It’s okay if your mission evolves over time; that’s natural as we transition through different life stages.
Today, I urge everyone to take a moment to pause and appreciate their surroundings. Embrace the season of life you’re presently experiencing. Offer gratitude to God not just for creating you but also for bestowing upon you the blessings you’ve received.
Take a moment to consider how you can enhance the lives of those around you. It could be through volunteering, lending a helping hand, or stopping to assist someone with a flat tire on the roadside. When you feel inspired, take action and make a difference.
From my family to yours,
I wish you a Merry Christmas!
May God bless your life, as well as everything and everyone in it.
