Jesus was a happy person.
God wants us to be happy people.
HOW CAN YOU HAVE A HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON?
1. Remember the Reason for the Season.
CS Lewis said, “God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself because it is not there. There is no such thing.”
2. Spend Time with Loved Ones.
Don’t isolate during this time of year. Don’t try to do life alone. We are Better Together!
3. Be Grateful for What you Have.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 NLT
Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
4. Focus on Giving instead of Receiving.
Psalm 116:12 NLT
What can I offer the Lord for all he has done for me?
You can offer: Treasure — Talent —Time
