Celebrate the Seasons

November 4, 2025 - Now that Halloween is past, we move into what is commonly called the Holiday Seasons. Google tells me that this includes Thanksgiving, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Christmas, and New Year's. While you may not, and probably don't, celebrate all of these, you more than likely can find something to get excited about over the next couple of months.

What does the word celebration mean to you? Family? Food? Fun? Festivities? All of the above? Whatever it looks or feels like for you is just fine.

So, take a few moments and consider how you can enhance your celebrations over the next couple of months. Celebrate the seasons in a way perhaps you never have before.

  1. Who do you normally invite to your holiday celebrations? Is there anyone else you could include this year?
  2. Is there a holiday that could use more attention than in past years?
  3. On the flip side, are you overdoing it and need to back off a bit?
  4. What could bring greater peace to your life over the next eight weeks?
  5. How can you focus more on the gifts you have received and the gifts that you can give?

So until next time, always keep your eye on the One that loves you most. Ciao!

Iron Rod Press Newsletter Vol. 1, No. 25 Celebrate the Fun December 16, 2025 - While focusing on Jesus Christ during the Christmas season ought to be a priority, that doesn't mean we can't enjoy other aspects of this time of year along the way. I am old enough to remember that Christmas decorations, ornaments, and traditions were pretty standard from house to house where I grew up. My, how things have changed! And I don't think that's a bad thing. For anyone who remembers stepping gingerly...

Iron Rod Press Newsletter Vol. 1, No. 24 Celebrate Christ in a Big Way December 9, 2025 - It's no secret that the Christmas season can be hectic, overloaded with activities, and overwhelming. Why is that? I believe the chaos comes when we direct our focus on what matters less instead of focusing on what, or rather Who, matters most. So this year, why not make Christ the central focus of every holiday celebration? Does that mean that Santa and jingle bells have no place? That's for you to...

Iron Rod Press Newsletter Vol. 1, No. 23 Celebrate Christ Every Day December 2, 2025 - When asked on which day Christmas is primarily celebrated, most people would agree on December 25th. But what if you received a calendar that had Christmas Day printed on EVERY day of the year? Would you be annoyed, grateful, or a little of both? I put up my small artificial Christmas tree before Halloween in 2024. There was a video that included my tree that I was planning on posting on Christmas Day last...
