Obstacle #3 is… No plan.

Not having a plan will make it all but impossible to have a great Christmas. “Those who fail to plan can plan to fail,” was Napoleon’s counsel. You are not simply going to stumble into your best Christmas ever. It requires a plan and intentionality. Over the next couple of weeks, we will help you put that plan together. But remember…

Find your joy. Guard your joy. Follow your joy. Not just happiness. It seems our culture has confused happiness with comfort, and following comfort will lead you to misery. Find your joy. Cherish your joy. Guard your joy. And follow your joy.


Meditation of the Day – God Has a Plan

“When one is given the Spirit of wisdom, one is able to perceive God’s fingerprints upon the wonders of the world. One is able to see the pattern God has established in history (world history, faith history, and even our own personal history). This should leave us with a sense of comfort, for it means that life is not chaotic. God has a plan.” — Rev. Jude Winkler, OFM, p.62
