BE IN THE WORD:
For God is not a God of disorder but of peace, as in all the meetings of God’s holy people. (I Corinthians 14:33)

I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God. (Ecclesiastes 3:12-13)

QUICK LIST OF TIPS:

Don’t set yourself up for failure! Only volunteer for what you know fits your skill set and your calendarSet a budget and stick to itKeep it as simple or as complicated as you wantDon’t just give your kids presents Be okay saying “no”Keep it funRemember the reason for the seasonThrow grace at your feet.Making dinners (meal planning, prepping, etc.)Watch out for road blocksCleaning the houseBe okay with a load of laundry in the dryer all day. What is the most important thing for the day?  Things to remember:The wise men brought Him gits, the shepherds gave him glory and time.Do you remember what you got for Christmas every year? nope!Creating traditions lasts longer than gifts.We all have the same number of days in a week and the same hours in a day. Don’t think your life is busier than someone else. Gifts come in all shapes and sizes. Be creative. Go out to dinner one less time a week and save it to be able to give to others.
