The traffic was a jam and not in a sweet way…

Yesterday was one of those days! It seemed life was doing a push-back. The traffic was a jam and not in a sweet way. The wait time in the doctor’s office took forever (can I get an Amen), and Chipotle was short-staffed, resulting in a long wait line. When it was my turn to order, I found out they were out of salsa! I think I have an idea where that salsa is sitting!

So, when I feel extra small in this big, complex world, it would do me well to remember to take a few heartbeats and find the peace God wants for me. There is hope in knowing God is “with us,” (Emmanuel). “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

That is His promise to each of us. So, I make Isaiah 41:10 my prayer for each reader during this Holiday season. When life gets crazy, may we have peace in our hearts. So as God walks by our sides this December, may we remember to give, love, and try to be thankful for every little thing that happens in our life. For isn’t every day a gift from God? And, in any season, it is the best time of the year no matter the jams in our lives. 

Merry Christmas, everyone, and a blessed New Year!
