Finding your Peace during Christmas

As the oooohs of The Temptations version of Silent Night fill the air, the smell of cinnamon rolls in the morning along with a fresh cup of hot chocolate brings a unique blend of joy and busyness. Amidst the whirlwind of grocery and last minute stocking stuffer shopping and work celebrations, finding peace can feel like a distant dream. But sis, let me tell you -  it's not only possible; it's essential. YOU can embrace a peaceful Christmas, nurturing both your skin and spirit.

Peace during Christmas starts from within. It's a gentle reminder that this season is not just about making sure your momma doesn’t criticize everything you do or your kids have all the things they asked for, but about celebrating love, joy, and the birth of Jesus. Embrace Ephesians 5:29, which urges us to care for ourselves just as Christ does the church. This Christmas, make time for self-care rituals that rejuvenate you. As you apply the Glory's Glow Radiance Duo to nourish your skin, let each application be a moment of prayer and reflection. Let the natural glow of your skin be a reflection of the peace and love that radiates from within.

A peaceful holiday is a symmetrical one. Balance your commitments with moments of stillness. Remember, it's okay to say no to some invitations and to say yes to your well-being. Matthew 11:28 reminds us, "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Find rest in small pockets of tranquility: a quiet morning with a cup of tea, a reflective walk, or a pause to breathe in the crisp winter air. These moments of stillness are your sanctuary, a sacred space where you can listen to God's whispers of love and amity.

Finding peace during the holidays is about connecting with your inner sanctuary. It's understanding that peace doesn't mean the absence of chaos but finding a calm amidst it. Philippians 4:6-7 encourages us not to be anxious but in everything, through prayer and petition, present our requests to God. Let your prayers be the anchor in the bustling sea of the holiday season. And as you engage in Christmas ho-rahs, do so with intention and gratitude. Let each gift wrapped, each card written, be an act of love and a testament to the solitude you carry in your heart.

As we journey through the season of the Lamb, remember that you are loved, cherished, chosen, and cared for. Your peace is a gift not just to yourself but to those around you. Let's walk into this Christmas season with our hearts full of love and our spirits radiant with peace of Jesus.
