The past couple days I have struggled with my depression- it is triggered by great expectations of the days yet come and the reality that I am behind in preparations due to work commitments.
My family is arriving today and I am feeling overwhelmed by the lack of things I have yet to accomplish. I don’t understand the expectations that I place upon myself; I would never place them on those around me.
I am reminding myself that this season is not about the things that I can do or what I can buy for those around me. It is about LOVE— the love the Lord has for me by sending His son, Jesus.
As I celebrate Christmas (the birth of Jesus), I am finding joy in my salvation and time spent with loved ones!
