I just absolutely love this time of year! All the lights sparkling everywhere, the beautiful decorations, the candles that just smell of Christmas...which I'm not sure how they do that, but its perfect! :) The shopping for that perfect present and wrapping the gifts for under the tree and most importantly celebrating the birth of our Savior Jesus! I just love all the love that's in the air!
I've been challenged to not only remember why there is so much love in the air during this season but to take it OUT of this season with me. Its so easy to be loving, kind and cheerful during Christmas because, at least for me, its kind of hard NOT to be but I believe the real challenge is to be the exact same way ALL year long!
Jesus said "they will know you are my disciples if you love one another." (John 13:35) This wasn't something He told us to do when we feel like it or when someone is nice to us, He simply said "love one another." Its so easy to love others when they love us or show us kindness but to love the "unlovable" is what Jesus did. This challenges me to my core because obviously that's not the easiest to do, but because He did it, we are able to as well.
So this Christmas have fun, wear something ridiculously sparkly and love one another! :)
