Finding peace in the midst of the holiday season can wrangle up more stress with a bigger mess. Who knew that chaos and calm go hand in hand? Buckle up for this holiday ride; peace does abound deep inside.
Navigating the roads of chaos and calm is a challenge, no matter what time of year it is. But during Christmas, it seems to be magnified greater than any other time of the year.

I can’t help but scratch my head and think, “Oh woe is me!”
That’s being really honest. At the same time, though, there’s a thrill of hope that ignites my day and night.
Who can sleep with that type of expectation?
One way you thrive during Christmas is by finding the peace that doesn’t come from you, but from the greatest gift ever given.
The peace that passes all understanding. (Philippians 4:7)
The K.I.S.S. ~ Find the path of peace!
The holiday season is often filled with distractions and demands, which can make it difficult to find joy and meaning in the present moment. Who doesn’t want to focus on the joy of the season watching your children experience Christmas.
However, it does take a little more effort on our part to find the path of peace.
- Set realistic expectations. Or, in my opinion, expect the unexpected. Therefore, you leave no room for disappointment or extreme happiness. It’s all about the moment. You hone in on JOY!
- Find joy in the little things. When you give yourself that space to absorb what’s right in front of you, the rush of the day melts away while the peace of life leads the way.
- Be present. Don’t let what matters escape your sightline. People wear glasses/contacts to see more clearly. When you’re present, you see the moments in motion, not as credits in the movie.
Despite all of the chaos and stress that can come with the holidays, there is hope.
“Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.” ~ 2 Thessalonians 3:16 NIV
This passage reminds us that peace is possible, even in the midst of difficult circumstances. It’s important to remember that we don’t have to rely on our own strength or perfection to find peace. Instead, we can trust in the Lord to give us peace at all times.
PRAYER: May your days be filled with the peace that passes all understanding, and your heart be still in order to embrace the beauty amidst all the chaos. And just as Mary did, “But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. (Luke 2:19).
“Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!“
