Proverbs 8 has been sitting with me today. It reminds me that wisdom didn’t just show up when things finally made sense. It was already there… before the answers, before the breakthrough, before the clarity. Even in seasons where you felt unsure, stretched, or quietly holding it together — wisdom was guiding you. Protecting you. Preparing you. You weren’t as lost as you thought. And that’s comforting today. Because Christmas has a way of feeling full and heavy at the same time. There are gifts… but also memories. There’s joy… but sometimes grief. There’s celebration… but also reflection. So today, I don’t want us rushing past this moment. Not focused on what didn’t happen. Not replaying what hurt. Not measuring where we thought we’d be by now. Just pausing long enough to acknowledge this truth: God has been GOOD to you. He kept you when you didn’t know how you were going to make it through. He sustained you when you were tired but still showed up. He gave you wisdom in moments you didn’t even realize you were being guided. He gave you peace when nothing around you was settled. That’s not coincidence. That’s grace. So before the day moves on… before the food, the photos, the noise… Let’s practice gratitude — slowly and honestly. 👇🏽 Tell me five things you’re thankful for this morning. Because today isn’t really about what’s under the tree. It’s about the goodness of God that’s carried you all year long. 🎄🎁Merry Christmas 📖 Proverbs 8 🤍 A THANKFUL 🥹 heart
