A Sacred Pause for Christmas
This post arrived a day later than my usual rhythm—and that was intentional.
In a season filled with movement, noise, deadlines, and beautiful distractions, I wanted to pause. Just for a moment. To breathe. To reflect. To remember.
Christmas invites us into something deeper than a packed calendar or perfectly wrapped plans. It calls us back to the heart of the season—the quiet miracle of Emmanuel, God with us.
So today, instead of rushing to meet a schedule, I chose to honor the meaning behind the moment.
Because when life is busy, pausing becomes an act of faith.
It’s in the pause that we remember:
Hope entered the world through humility
Love arrived wrapped in vulnerability
Light broke into darkness without fanfare
Jesus came not through noise or striving, but through stillness, surrender, and trust.
If this season has felt full—or heavy—or both—I want to gently remind you that you are allowed to slow down. You are allowed to step away from the expectations and sit with the wonder. You are allowed to choose presence over productivity.
May you find moments of holy stillness this Christmas.
May peace meet you where you are.
And may your heart be reminded that the greatest gift has already been given.
With grace and gratitude,
Lori ✨
