Are You Taking in the Spirit of Christmas? – Grace & Truth Link-Up

Are you allowing time off during this holiday season to take in the spirit of Christmas? It is not an easy task when the demands of Christmas seem to pull from every direction.  However, if you don’t try, you will miss the “reason for the season.”

How do you go about slowing down and taking in the spirit of Christmas? 

  For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

John 3:16

 

In an attempt to capture the essence of Christmas before it whizzes by, I will be taking a short blogging break. The link-up will still be here each week – so don’t go anywhere! Our featured post on “Embracing the Unexpected” will return in January. In the meantime, please visit the other hosts and see what beautiful posts they have picked for the week.

Please share with us how you are taking in the spirit of Christmas?

 

 

Wishing You a Merry Christmas!

– Maree Dee

Intentional Christmas Love

How it Works

On Tuesday evenings in December, please meet us over on Facebook or Instagram at 6 pm MST for a post about “Intentional Christmas Love.” Each week we will have a new challenge where we can encourage each other to slow down and love those around us.
