Good morning and welcome to this Christian meditation on staying calm,
Grounded,
And focused during the Christmas season.
Thank you so much for joining me today.
During the holiday season,
It's so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of running,
Shopping,
Comparing,
Competing.
But we want to remember the reason for the Christmas season.
And we do that by grounding ourselves in the foundation of this holiday celebration.
So today,
I will be reading from Isaiah 9 and 6.
And it reads,
For to us a child is born,
To us a son is given,
And the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called Wonderful Counselor,
Mighty God,
Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace.
So today,
We rest in a centering prayer pulled directly from this scripture.
So if you will just relax and let's begin our centering prayer of Wonderful Counselor,
Mighty God,
Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace.
Wonderful Counselor,
Mighty God,
Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace.
Let's rest in that for just a moment.
Wonderful Counselor,
Mighty God,
Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace.
Wonderful Counselor,
Mighty God,
Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace.
Wonderful Counselor,
Mighty God,
Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace.
Remember this as you go throughout the Christmas season,
That the reason that we celebrate is not to buy presents.
It's not to compete with family members for who can buy the largest gift or the most expensive gift.
It's not to see who has the brightest Christmas decorations or the tallest tree.
It's not even to see who can bring the best dessert to family dinner.
It is because we acknowledge the birth of our Lord,
Savior,
And King,
Jesus Christ.
Wonderful Counselor,
Mighty God,
Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace.
Remember the Lord during this season and find peace in His presence.
So be it.
Amen.
Have a wonderful,
Phenomenal Christmas season.
