So, I’m busy today…so much so that I can hardly think straight and have had a few moments of panic at all that I need to accomplish.

Of course, friends help…friends that surprise you in a coffee shop so you don’t feel alone - friends that help you “buy in bulk” at BJ’s without losing your mind - friends who pray for you, and then paint your front door - friends that make a new kitchen sink that doesn’t fit…fit!

There are other things, today, that I could focus on…friendships that have caused pain and a sense of betrayal - there are those feelings today. But, there’s no time to focus on these - not when there are so many other things to do. So, dealing with the…”junk” will have to wait until another season…

…this is a season for joy, for celebration - not focusing on things that can’t be changed.

This season is a season for peace.

I have so much to be thankful for…for great friends and family and the unconditional love they show - and for the real reason for the season: Jesus, the love of God. So, while I’m tempted to be distracted by…whatever - I will fix my eyes on the love…

Love erases all the wrongs - all the discouragements. And there are so many reminders of love…so many things to remember…

…and I will remember these - in all the seasons of my soul.

Peace.
