Hidden in Christ

"Set your minds on the things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God." Col. 3:2

With the approaching holidays it is tempting for women especially to focus on the little details which snowball into huge mountains. When we view the holidays through a stress filled lens we miss out on the big picture. Our lens fill up with anxieties of "what if's" and "how to's" instead of "thank you's" and "love you's".

Much is the same when we focus on ourselves instead of Christ. We are to be "hidden" in Christ meaning when others look at us our lives are to reflect the image of Christ - not ourselves. When we are hidden in Christ we do not cast our own shadow but the shadow of Christ.

Stay focused on the spiritual things when going through the holidays.

Dear Brenda, thanks for being there for Beth. I am sure it was not pleasant but your support helped her get thur it. I have had that same procedure done, and it is certainly pain, pain, pain.

Love you guys dearly.
