Luke 10:38-41 NIV …a woman named Martha opened her home to Him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet LISTENING TO WHAT HE SAID. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made…"Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, but ONLY ONE THING IS NEEDED. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."

Christmas is a busy time – many preparations have to be made and we will feel like Martha if we forget the one thing! No matter what time of year it is, no matter what is going on, ONLY ONE THING IS NEEDED; only one thing is necessary – this is how Jesus describes taking in His Word.

Christmas is to be celebrated and enjoyed. Each day should be a celebration of life. We need to focus on Christ daily and then we will be thankful every day of our lives! We keep Christ in Christmas and our daily lives by abiding in the Word. As we abide in the Word we'll feel a desire to celebrate.

Celebrating is about resting – resting in Christ and what He has done for us! Celebrating is not supposed to be a time of intensity – it is to be done simply and it is to be enjoyed thoroughly.

The world makes Christmas seem like nothing but work – baking, cooking, shopping, wrapping, and so on. Do not view these Christmas preparations as work – see them as a celebration of the family God has given you!
