The closer time moves towards Christmas, the more traffic, the more spending, the more stress. Stress over the gifts, stress over travel, stress over not having enough money to shop for gifts. Stress over family members, having them, and not having them. It can drive someone mad, were it not for comedy. The ability to laugh is certainly a way of relieving the stress. And this story about Blagoavisch is certainly nothing to laugh about, but hey, who sells a senate seat? This stuff is the fodder of comedians all over the world.
In my mail box on a daily basis are credit card offers, gift checks that will cost me unprecedented amounts of interest, and advertisements that promise to save me $$$ when I shop online with their organizations.
However, I like to think about the actual birth of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. How, it was prophesied about prior to the actual event, how, it was three wise shepards that God chose to share this prophesy with, and how this event fulfilled the promise to bring all men who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life. That is the biggest message of the season, and to me, 'THAT IS GOOD NEWS'.
So, while you are stressed and pulled too and fro over the stress of making things just right, every time you smile at a stranger, and greet someone out there in this stress filled world, you just might be showing the most important message given. And it doesn't cost you a thing.
Make a wonderful holiday season. And if you look to have pictures printed up, check out Clarkcolorlabs.com because they offer pictures for only $.08cents a copy. You cannot beat their prices with a stick. I have seen prices as high as $.29cents a copy, and $.08cents... think about it. Less stress!!!:)
Have a Merry Holiday Season
