GRATEFUL GIRL’S THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Yep, I see it...the calendar, that is.

One month. We have exactly one month from today to get it all done.

The shopping, the wrapping, the cooking, the baking, the card-writing, addressing and sending (ugh), the trimming of the tree...etc., etc.

GULP.

Wanna know a secret? It’s not about all that.

Sure, traditions and giving and well, who are we kidding, FOOD are key ... but let’s not lose sight of the main event: that very special birthday. #ChristmasbeginsandendswithCHRIST

Here’s another little tip: Don’t be so worried about the STUFF that you miss out on what is absolutely crucial this and every holiday season: quality time with family and friends.

Breathe. Smile. Breathe some more.

Yep, Christmas is coming quickly; that’s OK... as long as you remember to celebrate what matters most.


​Ps 9:2-3, 4 and 6, 16 and 19
R. (see 16a) I will rejoice in your salvation, O Lord.
I will give thanks to you, O LORD, with all my heart;
I will declare all your wondrous deeds.
I will be glad and exult in you;
I will sing praise to your name, Most High.
R. I will rejoice in your salvation, O Lord.
Because my enemies are turned back,
overthrown and destroyed before you.
You rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked;
their name you blotted out forever and ever.
R. I will rejoice in your salvation, O Lord.
The nations are sunk in the pit they have made;
in the snare they set, their foot is caught.
For the needy shall not always be forgotten,
nor shall the hope of the afflicted forever perish.
R. I will rejoice in your salvation, O Lord.

Alleluia See 2 Tm 1:10
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Our Savior Jesus Christ has destroyed death
and brought life to light through the Gospel.
