The Joy of Christmas

Christmas Encouragement

6216B168-A62C-45C2-A05B-DDBEA353D6C9 A precious baby boy was born and changed the world forever.

Imagine the “joy” Mary must have felt in her heart when she held her baby boy in her arms for the first time. The joy a mother feels after carrying a baby for 9 months is a joy the runs deeply in your heart. It is an emotion that is hard to stifle as it is an emotion which is inspired by God.

Now, take that same “joy” to a new level. One where Mary knew her baby was not just her bundle of joy, but one who would be so special that He would change and save the world.

This song is an amazing and worth listening to today.

Mary, Did You Know? – Pentatonix, Official Video

No pressure, I’m just saying… Wow, I can’t imagine what she was feeling the day Jesus was born.

Take some time to think about how joyous this would have been some 2,000 years ago when Mary gave birth to Baby Jesus. This joy changed the world. Now allow it to change your day and your Christmas season this year.

“But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭2:10-11‬ ‭NIV‬‬

My Friend, remain joyous today.

About Me

Heidi Benson

I am a wife, mom, and daughter. I served in the United States Army, went to college, received a Batchelor's Degree in Criminology, homeschooled my daughter every year from start to finish, started working at a Christian school after being out of work for 20 plus years while I raised my daughter and now I am currently a volunteer assistant to the director at our local hospital. I married my husband when he was in the United States Army so I have the unique knowledge of what it is like to be on both sides of a Military uniform. While we were stationed in Germany, my daughter, who is 27 years old now, was born and I made the difficult decision to put my career on hold to be her mom. The past 25 years have been wrought with many struggles, but as a result of those struggles, this blog was created. As the years passed and the struggle kept coming, I would say, "I'm not sure why we have to go through all of this, but if we have to then it is my desire to allow my story to serve as a means of encouragement to others so all this pain isn't for nothing." The years passed and the struggles did not. However, I feel now is the time God wants me to share these stories of hardships with the hopes they provide encouragement to you if you are struggling in the same way. It is my prayer they will serve as a healing opportunity for you. I want you to know you are not alone. There are others who know where you are and what you are feeling. Cling to the hope this won't last forever and that God is standing beside you while He holds you up and dries your tears. He is showing you the way, you just need to follow Him. Big Hugs, Heidi
