As I was opening up my journal the other day, I saw the words, “there are so many reasons to be happy.” Wow! How powerful is that? We get so caught up sometimes in life and the things surrounding us until we miss the wonderful things still around us. Why focus on the negative when there is so much positivity. We have to be conscious about changing our mindset. What are some reasons you have to be happy? Life? Food? Family? Shelter? Laughter? Good memories of loved ones? Friends?

He has indeed given us so many gifts, shelter, food, clothing, a sound mind, family and friends to help us stay on track and inspire us to do more and be more. Never forget the gifts God has provided, including the greatest gift of all His Son, Jesus! On this day, don’t forget the true reason for the season, the gifts are nice, but be sure to honor the greatest gift (Jesus) with a gift! As you come to the King to honor…
