Time to recess

Many years ago, the people of Israel were waiting for the birth of their Savior.
When He arrived, there was great rejoicing in a small stable.

Today we are also waiting. Waiting for His return.

Do we too rejoice, even as we wait in the midst of dark times?

There is a phrase I hear several times a day from my students:

"Time to recess." Every time I hear it, I think, "No, it's not time to recess; it's time for recess."

But then I began to think about it.

Recess means: to take a break from something; a remote or secluded place.

During the Christmas season, life is so hurried and stressful.

It's hard to take a moment to sit back and relax.

But that is exactly what Christmas is all about.

It's about rest. It's about recess.

Taking a break.

Going to a secluded place to worship and bask in our Saviour's presence.

To thank Him for His gift of love.

Giving us a reason to rejoice and a reason to hope.

This Christmas, I encourage you to take some "time to recess."

Praying you experience the richness of God's love for you,

found in the gift of His precious Son this Christmas!

Blessings,
