Unless we stay focused on the Giver of blessings and all good gifts during this time of year, we are easily distracted with decorating, shopping, baking, cooking, and get-togethers. We each decide whether October through December busyness overtake our thoughts, leaving little room and time to reflect on the reasons for celebrating: “The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad” (Psalm 126:3). As you plan holiday activities, be mindful of God’s goodness and all the “great things” He has done for us and “be glad” in them. God meets and surpasses our daily needs. He sent Jesus—the greatest Gift—bringing hope, forgiveness, salvation, and eternal life out of His great love. Enjoy the holidays, but as you calendar dates, remember Thanksgiving and Christmas are about God—the Sustainer, Provider, and the Giver of all good gifts.
