It's Christmas time. For our family, it's also vacation time and we are resting, relaxing and enjoying fun time together.
But, as many of you know, there have been times this year when I have struggled with depression. I think that's true for all of us. We all have times of highs and lows, but how do you handle those down times diring the holidays?
Sometimes it's hard to get that Christmas Spirit. However, there are things you can do:
- Pump up the vitamins
- Pump up the music
- Get up and get busy!
Surround yourself with everything good: good friends, good music, healthy good food, good heartwarming movies and books, esepcially the Good Book.
“Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.” (Colossians 3:1-2) (NIV)
Just surround yourself with love and everything that is good, encouraging and positive. Be inspired.
“Taste and see that the Lord is good;blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.” (Psalm 34:8) (NIV)
“Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name;make known among the nations what he has done.Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts. Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice. Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always. Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,” (1 Chronicles 16:8-12) (NIV)
Look around and COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS
Count your blessings
Name them one by one
Count your blessings
See What God hath done
Count your blessings!
Name them one by one.
For my dear friends and my family
I name you one by one, I count myself thankful for all God has sent to me and given me.
Thank you Lord for my husband, my children, my friends, my home, my life.
I am truly blessed.
Where is Christmas? It's right here. It's always bee here. Right here in my heart.
