I took my time on the Christmas display in the Alpha Boutique today. It just felt right. It was therapeutic and lifted my spirits to focus on Jesus’ Birthday. Finishing out this Gratitude Month with the hope we have in Him soothed my weary soul and I am so thankful.

As we enter this Advent season I pray that the hope, peace, joy and love of Jesus surrounds you. Merry Christmas, friends!

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. ^{Romans 15:13}
