Do You Need a "Silent Night"?

Hello everyone!  Well it seems like the December rush is well under way!  People out shopping, the hustle and bussle of the holiday season is here.  I got to thinking the over the weekend about all that goes on during the month of December.  I was pondering about how most of us seem to just go go go!  That seems to be our mantra during this time of the year.  Holiday shopping, visiting with friends and family, planning events, there is just a lot going on.  Now there is nothing wrong with all of this.  It's great to visit with family and friends, go shopping and enjoy all that goes along with these types of activities.  However, I wonder, do we need to sometimes take a step back and pause for a moment from our busy schedules to just think about what this time of the year is truly about?

Think about that one silent night where the shepherds were out on in their fields keeping watch over their flocks by night, it was on that quiet silent night that a glorious event happened.  The great angelic announcement of our Saviours birth!  We should to take a moment to step away from the hustle and bussle and not forget what this season is truly about! Celebrating our Saviours birth.  The greatest gift to man-kind.

So do you need a "Silent Night"?
