Beauty

It's easy to get side tracked thinking of extra stuff at Christmas.

Gifts. Parties. Cards. Cookies. Drop ins. Traffic. Wrapping.

Not that those are bad... at all. They just take over in my heart and keep me dwelling there shifting my thoughts to "list/task mode" rather than sitting at the feet of Jesus and dwelling on Him, dwelling on His beauty and the gift of His Son.

Sometimes I just need the sweet reminder that He is All in All. The gift of Jesus... for me. For us. Forever.

I'm keeping in mind these words--

One thing I ask of the Lord,
this is what I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord
and to seek Him in His temple.

Psalm 27:4

His beauty is what I am after. Not the hustle and bustle that creeps in.

Wrapped up in swaddling cloths, laying in a manger. Christ the new born King... HERE with me, with us.

Beautiful Savior.
