The Advent and Christmas season is a time of celebration, reflection, and preparation—but it can also be overwhelming. Between shopping, hosting, decorating, and meeting expectations, many of us get so caught up in doing that we miss the beauty of simply being.
In Luke 10:38-42, Martha busily served, while Mary sat at Jesus' feet. Martha's serving wasn’t wrong, but her distractions kept her from experiencing peace. Sound familiar?
Common Holiday Struggles
- Overwhelming Expectations: Pressure to create the “perfect” holiday.
- Neglected Quiet Time: Skipping time with God due to busy schedules.
- Comparison Culture: Feeling inadequate compared to curated online perfection.
- Physical & Emotional Exhaustion: Trying to do everything for everyone.
