It’s easy to get caught up in the hectic pace of the holiday season. We host parties. We worry about having too many plans – or that we don’t have any plans at all. We wonder who we will see during the holidays – will far away family come home this year? We think of ways we can make our festivities better or more nostalgic. We look for the perfect present, or we procrastinate and end up trying to find any present.

I looked at the jacket. If I took it, I’d just hang it in a closet at the nursing home. It would sit in the dark, smelling of mothballs until I died. Then Sarah would donate it right back to the same rack. History dies when you lock it away.
Sacked by Satan
Satan hated this detestable godly man but since Satan is no match against God’s power, he tries to destroy what God loves.
Satan challenged God saying that Job only feared Him because Job had been blessed by Him, but if he lost everything, “He will surely curse you to Your face!” (Job 1:11) God allowed Satan to take all of Job’s prosperity, his sons and daughters, his livestock and his servants, but God drew a boundary around Job that Satan could not kill him.
