The holidays are almost upon us! Though they are a celebration of family, friends, life in general and mostly should be about glorifying God, they also cause great stress. Usually the job of preparing and planning falls on us ladies. We should not be bitter about it. It’s almost like we were made for these kinds of things. Perfection unfortunately is often the culprit that leads to stress.
The hardest lesson I had to learn while being a student at Texas A&M was that perfection does not lead to happiness. It’s consequences can be devastating for ones mental health. The only perfect human being that ever lived was of course Jesus. He truly is the role model for handling stress. If the holidays already feel stressful to you, take a step back. Consider all that Christ did for you and me and all of mankind when he willingly gave His life for each of us. Trust in that. Reflect on that. That truly allows each of us to prioritize and be grateful. Gratitude is the greatest weapon against stress.
