LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

If you’re anything like me, right about now you’re starting to feel overwhelmed. Nothing goes according to plan. The year is about to end. And Christmas? No one is getting anything like what you had hoped to be giving them …

But instead of contributing to the chaos: Remember the Incarnation. God became man to save our eternal souls! To walk with us and show us how to live. That’s so much more important and enduring that those beautiful bows you wanted to purchase, as pretty as they are.

And congratulations if you did manage to find the right bow. Let it reflect the the beauty of the love you have for its recipient. May it reflect the peace of the home we each pray we help one another get to together, on Christmas and day-by-day.
