“The shepherds were terrified, but the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all
people.” (Luke 2:9-10).
Andy Williams (and others) sing
“It’s the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you be of good cheer
It’s the most wonderful time of the year.”
But it’s also the most stressful season of all. Perhaps the lyrics should be rewritten:
It’s the most worrisome time of the year
With to-do lists all swelling
And everyone telling you the deadline is near
It’s the most worrisome time of the year.
How do you handle all the stress of this season? The angel had a suggestion for the shepherds—Go find the baby, born to be your Savior, your Messiah, and Lord. When the Lord is our focus, it can become the most wonderful time of the year.
