I have been pondering the words, rest, reflect, rejoice, renew,,, I admit Ive been stressed, and rushed, and sad because my dad passed on Dec 11th, not unexpected by any means, but still a loss. Thankyou Jeff for the reminders each day to slow down and breathe, and minister to others and focus on Christ through this Christmas season..
I LOVE "simplicity amoung strangeness",,, I have been pondering that statement since reading your post 45 minutes ago,, and studying Luke 2 once again and taking notes, on what Mary's reaction was, and what struck the shepherds the most. and how they reacted. And how we all need to pause, and ponder, and slow down, and curl up with out little ones,, and tell them the story , the Truth of Jesus coming to save us from our sins. And even in the midst of stress, and unexpected things , to still , be quiet and rest in the Lord, and live in simplicity amoung strangeness.
