Go ahead Ana. And Thanks for sharing with us
Christmas is often a whirlwind of gift-buying, holiday events and "shoulds" for women.
I should get so & so that gift. I should go to that holiday event. Slowing down to enjoy
the holiday season or to participate in an event to help the less fortunate is often the
least of our priorities.
If we look at the story of King Solomn in the Bible, we can gain some insights that
might apply to the holiday season. King Solomn had an excess of riches and material
goods that eventually lead to his not giving his full heart to God. ie I am able to provide
for all my needs in life so I really don't need God & his message to lead a fulfilled life.
If we slow down and look for the true "meaning of Christmas" ie remembering that
Christmas is about the birth of Jesus and taking time to participate in relationships with
others, then we will enjoy the holiday season much more!
