Focus On Things That Aren't Things

"The best things in life aren't things." Art Buchwald

 Everyone is so busy during this time of the holiday season, out and about, buying gifts for others and trying to find the best deals. The malls and the stores are crowded full of everyone moving around in a hurry, maybe one of these people is you. Maybe you are stressing yourself out focusing on all of the things that need to be done by Christmas. Well, there is your problem, you are focusing on all of the "things." Take a look at the quote above from Art Buchwald, he tells us that the best things that we can have in life aren't things, but yet, we find ourselves being stressed out by them. Maybe we need to turn our focus to the things of the holiday season that aren't things. Focus on the true meaning of Christmas, that Jesus was born on that day. Focus on love that you have between family at this magical time of the year. Focus on the joy that it brings. There are so many beautiful things, that aren't actually things at all, that we can focus on this Christmas. So go out and buy your gifts, but remember to shift your focus to the best parts of the holiday season, shift your focus to the miracles, the joy, the blessings, the family, the true meaning of Christmas.
