Keeping Jesus The Main Character of Your...

About this episode

This time of year, there is often a lot of pressure and weight on us mamas to do and be everything for everyone. We’ve got presents to buy, decorations to be hung, parties to host, treats to bake, and the list goes on. If we’re not careful, we’ll get so caught up in the hustle and bustle of the most wonderful time of the year that we’ll forget to ever stop and wonder at the magnificence of the reason why we celebrate in the first place - that little baby that was laid in a manger all those years ago.

 

So today I’m sharing with you the one thing that has helped me the most when it comes to keeping the peace and joy in this time of year. Grab your favorite warm and cozy drink and let’s dive into this episode of The Joy Filled Podcast.
