About this episode
Have you taken time to slow down lately?
Hey friends! We just wanted to take a moment during this super busy time of year to encourage you. We see you, and as parents, we know that it’s so easy to slip into the trap of feeling pressure to do it all. So here’s your reminder to slow down and focus on what’s in front of you.
We know we all want to bless our kids and give them good gifts (and there’s nothing wrong with that!).. But the reality is that years down the road, your kids are going to look back most fondly on the memories that were made, and not the gifts they received.
So let this short message be the nudge that you need to take a deep breath and just enjoy this season. Focus on being present with your family, and not quite as much on the presents under the tree. And most importantly, let’s remember that if it weren’t for the birth of Jesus, we wouldn’t be celebrating at all.
We love you, friends! You are doing a great job. Merry Christmas from the Tripps!
