Noel is simply another word or Christmas or a Christmas carol when not capitalized. I never knew that until I recently googled it. I have fallen in love with a new song on Chris Tomlin’s Christmas album, Adore. Of course, it is called “Noel.” It is sung by Lauren Daigle. Here is the YouTube link Noel.  I can’t stop listening to it.

The chorus of this song sums up Christmas for me:

Noel, Noel

Come and see what God has done

Noel, Noel

The story of amazing love!

The light of the world, given for us

Noel

Amidst the hustle and bustle of the season, I encourage you to just sit with these words and reflect on what God has done for your. This gift is for your as much as it is for me. Take time to reflect on all the ways He has shown you love this past year. Start a list and see how long you can make it. Before we catapult into 2016, sit with this story of amazing love. How can it frame your tomorrow? You won’t regret this time to pause and reflect. Noel.

Share how God has shown you love this year and we can encourage each other.
