I saw this story on Well Watered Women’s IG awhile ago, and it really spoke to me. It’s continued to be on my heart so I thought I would share it with you as well.
I love, love, LOVE Christmas decorations. In fact, most of my decorations are already up. Maybe that’s why this spoke to me so strongly? I’m the first to admit that I’m oftentimes (probably daily) distracted by the work in my home. It’s never-ending and always staring me in the face. And do I sometimes pull a Martha and forget to pause and soak up Jesus’ presence? Yes, I do.
But I have loved having this reminder in my mind: to prepare my heart inwardly with as much enthusiasm and I prepare my home outwardly. I don’t want to spend all of my time making my house look beautiful that I forget about making my heart and mind beautiful as well. That will only come by spending time in His presence, and I pray I continue to dwell on this reminder throughout the season and into the New Year.
“You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.” Isaiah 26:3❤️
If we focus on Him, we will have peace!
A reminder I needed this morning! Love this.
I felt the same way when I saw this story the other day, such a beautiful reminder!
