CHRISTMAS STRESS
Does Christmas stress you? I don’t think its the birth of Christ that adds stress to our lives, its everthing else we allow to creep in. Two days ago I took a vacation day to catch up on my Christmas shopping and wrapping and catch up on some things around my study. I was so engrossed in taking care of those things I forgot to Blog that day!
Today I went into the Lab at the hospital for what I thought was a simple blood test. After they drew my blood they told me to wait in the lobby. Fifteen minutes later they gave me some fruit punch (pretty well pure syrup) and told me to rest for two hours!!!, and they would then draw blood again (testing for pre-diabetes). I was bored out of my gord. That wasted pretty well my entire morning.
By the time I finally got into the office, I was already a day and a half short this week and needed to get ready for the weekend. It wasn’t Christmas that stressed me out, but all things added on top of Christmas.
So, if we want to blame the reason I haven’t added a Blog for two days on Christmas, we can. But I won’t, because God’s design for Christmas is peace on earth, not chaos. God, help me rest in You.
How are you doing with Christmas stress?
