  10Americans

  busy

  the

  holiday
• 0:43
  special
• 0:43
  for

  others

  and
• 0:44
  they

  needs.
• 0:46
  Here's
• 0:47
  one
• 0:47
  I
• 0:47
  thought
• 0:47
  that
• 0:48
  you
• 0:48
  could
• 0:48
  really
• 0:48
  lean
• 0:48
  into
• 0:48
  if
• 0:49
  you're
• 0:49
  a
• 0:49
  mom
• 0:49
  listening

  or

  soon
• 0:50
  to
• 0:50
  be
• 0:50
  mother
• 0:51
  or
• 0:51
  you
• 0:51
  remember
• 0:51
  your
• 0:52
  own
• 0:52
  mother.
• 0:53
  Moms
• 0:53
  are
• 0:53
  twice
• 0:54
  as
• 0:54
  likely
• 0:54
  as
• 0:54
  dads
• 0:54
  to
• 0:55
  report
• 0:55
  high
• 0:55
  stress
• 0:55
  during

  the

  Over
• 0:59
  half
• 0:59
  of
• 1:00
  working
• 1:00
  mothers
• 1:00
  feel
• 1:01
  guilty
• 1:01
  when
• 1:01
  they
• 1:01
  try
• 1:02
  to
• 1:02
  balance
• 1:02
  family
• 1:02
  time
• 1:03
  with
• 1:03
  work
• 1:03
  during
• 1:03
  the
• 1:04
  holidays.
• 1:05
  Which

  leads
• 1:05
  me
• 1:05
  to
• 1:05
  today's
• 1:06
  listener
• 1:06
  question.
• 1:06
  Ralph,
• 1:07
  I
• 1:07
  always
• 1:07
  get
• 1:07
  so
• 1:08
  busy
• 1:08
  during
• 1:08
  the
• 1:08
  holidays
• 1:09
  trying
• 1:09
  to
• 1:09
  make
• 1:09
  everything
• 1:09
  perfect
• 1:10
  that
• 1:10
  I
• 1:11
  barely
• 1:11
  have
• 1:11
  time
• 1:11
  to
• 1:11
  just
• 1:12
  sit
• 1:12
  down
• 1:12
  with
• 1:12
  my
• 1:12
  family.
• 1:13
  How
• 1:14
  can
• 1:14
  I
• 1:14
  slow
• 1:14
  down
• 1:15
  this
• 1:15
  holiday
• 1:15
  and
• 1:16
  be
• 1:16
  more
• 1:16
  present?
• 1:18
  Well,
• 1:18
  thank
• 1:18
  you
• 1:18
  for
• 1:18
  your
• 1:19
  question.
• 1:20
  And
• 1:20
  the
• 1:20
  truth
• 1:21
  is
• 1:21
  the
• 1:21
  greatest
• 1:21
  gift
• 1:22
  you
• 1:22
  can
• 1:22
  give
• 1:22
  this
• 1:22
  Christmas
• 1:23
  isn't
• 1:23
  wrapped.
• 1:25
  That
• 1:25
  might
• 1:25
  be
• 1:25
  the
• 1:25
  big
• 1:25
  takeaway
• 1:26
  for
• 1:26
  the
• 1:26
  show.
• 1:27
  It's
• 1:27
  your
• 1:28
  presence.
• 1:29
  See,
• 1:29
  because
• 1:29
  people
• 1:30
  remember
• 1:30
  your
• 1:30
  attention
• 1:31
  more
• 1:31
  than
• 1:32
  I
• 1:32
  remember
• 1:32
  those
• 1:32
  presents,
• 1:33
  those
• 1:33
  gifts
• 1:33
  under
• 1:34
  the
• 1:34
  tree.
• 1:34
  So
• 1:34
  let's
• 1:34
  talk
• 1:35
  about
• 1:35
  building
• 1:35
  your
• 1:36
  presence
• 1:38
  on
• 1:38
  today's
• 1:38

  the

  show
• 1:58
  where
• 1:58
  I
• 1:58
  try
• 1:58
  to
• 1:58
  help
• 1:58
  you
• 1:59
  break
• 1:59
  that
• 1:59
  cycle
• 2:00
  of
• 2:00
  financial
• 2:00
  shame
• 2:01
  and
• 2:01
  do

  it
• 2:01
  with
• 2:01
  confidence.
• 2:02
  And
• 2:02
  you
• 2:02
  join
• 2:02
  us
• 2:02
  in
• 2:03
  the
• 2:03
  middle
• 2:03
  of
• 2:03
  our
• 2:03
  series
• 2:04
  about
• 2:04
  Christmas,
• 2:05
  trying
• 2:05
  to
• 2:05
  keep
• 2:06
  the
• 2:06
  joy
• 2:06
  in
• 2:06
  the
• 2:06
  holiday
• 2:07
  without
• 2:07
  going
• 2:08
  broke.
• 2:09
  And
• 2:09
  today
• 2:09
  we're
• 2:09
  talking
• 2:09
  about
• 2:10
  that
• 2:10
  feeling
• 2:11
  of
• 2:11
  being
• 2:11
  so
• 2:12
  busy.
• 2:12
  And
• 2:13
  I've
• 2:13
  seen
• 2:13
  it
• 2:13
  in
• 2:13
  my
• 2:13
  own
• 2:14
  career
• 2:14
  so
• 2:14
  many
• 2:14
  times
• 2:14
  that
• 2:15
  people
• 2:15
  trade
• 2:16
  connection
• 2:16
  for
• 2:16
  busyness.
• 2:18
  And
• 2:18
  then
• 2:18
  when
• 2:18
  the
• 2:18
  holidays
• 2:19
  are
• 2:19
  over,
• 2:19
  it's
• 2:19
  that
• 2:19
  blur.
• 2:20
  You
• 2:20
  regret
• 2:21
  it.
• 2:21
  You
• 2:22
  didn't
• 2:22
  make
• 2:22
  those
• 2:22
  connections.
• 2:24
  And
• 2:24
  I've
• 2:24
  learned
• 2:25
  something
• 2:25
  and
• 2:25
  it
• 2:25
  took
• 2:25
  me
• 2:26
  53
• 2:26
  years
• 2:26
  to
• 2:26
  do
• 2:27
  it,
• 2:27
  but
• 2:27
  I've
• 2:27
  learned
• 2:28
  the
• 2:28
  peace
• 2:28
  of
• 2:28
  being
• 2:28
  present
• 2:29
  far
• 2:30
  outweighs
• 2:30
  the
• 2:30
  pride
• 2:31
  of
• 2:31
  being
• 2:31
  productive.
• 2:32
  I
• 2:32
  want
• 2:32
  to
• 2:32
  say
• 2:33
  that
• 2:33
  again
• 2:33
  because
• 2:33
  I
• 2:33
  want
• 2:33
  you
• 2:34
  to
• 2:34
  lean
• 2:34
  into
• 2:34
  that.
• 2:34
  The
• 2:35
  peace
• 2:35
  of
• 2:35
  being
• 2:36
  present,
• 2:36
  being
• 2:37
  there
• 2:37
  for
• 2:37
  your
• 2:37
  family,
• 2:38
  your
• 2:38
  loved
• 2:39
  ones,
• 2:40
  it
• 2:40
  far
• 2:40
  outweighs
• 2:41
  the
• 2:41
  pride
• 2:41
  of
• 2:41
  being
• 2:42
  productive.
• 2:42
  I'm
• 2:42
  not
• 2:42
  saying
• 2:43
  don't
• 2:43
  be
• 2:43
  productive,
• 2:44
  but
• 2:44
  let's
• 2:44
  get
• 2:44
  to
• 2:44
  today's
• 2:45
  story.
• 2:45
  I
• 2:45
  want
• 2:46
  to
• 2:46
  tell
• 2:46
  you
• 2:46
  about
• 2:46
  my
• 2:46
  mom.
• 2:46
  Now.
• 2:47
  My
• 2:47
  mom
• 2:47
  has
• 2:47
  since
• 2:47
  passed
• 2:47
  away
• 2:48
  a
• 2:48
  couple
• 2:48
  years
• 2:48
  ago
• 2:48
  and
• 2:48
  I
• 2:48
  miss
• 2:49
  her
• 2:49
  dearly,
• 2:49
  just
• 2:49
  about
• 2:49
  every
• 2:50
  day.
• 2:50
  I
• 2:50
  never
• 2:50
  realized
• 2:51
  how
• 2:51
  much
• 2:51
  I
• 2:51
  would
• 2:51
  miss
• 2:52
  her.
• 2:52
  And
• 2:53
  then
• 2:53
  coming
• 2:53
  up
• 2:53
  to
• 2:53
  the
• 2:53
  holidays
• 2:54
  man,
• 2:54
  it
• 2:54
  just
• 2:54
  reinforces
• 2:55
  that.
• 2:55
  But
• 2:55
  I
• 2:56
  want
• 2:56
  to
• 2:56
  share
• 2:56
  something
• 2:56
  kind
• 2:57
  of
• 2:57
  funny
• 2:57
  today.
• 2:58
  My
• 2:58
  mom
• 2:58
  was
• 2:58
  one
• 2:58
  of
• 2:59
  those
• 2:59
  people,
• 2:59
  man.
• 2:59
  She
• 3:00
  wanted
• 3:00
  the
• 3:00
  holidays
• 3:01
  to
• 3:01
  be
• 3:01
  perfect
• 3:01
  for
• 3:02
  everybody.
• 3:02
  She
• 3:03
  wanted
• 3:03
  it
• 3:03
  to
• 3:03
  be
• 3:04
  everything
• 3:04
  just
• 3:04
  right.
• 3:04
  I
• 3:05
  mean,
• 3:05
  the
• 3:05
  food,
• 3:05
  the
• 3:05
  decorations,
• 3:06
  the
• 3:07
  gifts.
• 3:07
  I
• 3:07
  mean,
• 3:07
  it
• 3:08
  was
• 3:08
  her
• 3:08
  day
• 3:08
  to
• 3:09
  shine.
• 3:10
  The
• 3:10
  problem
• 3:10
  is,
• 3:11
  looking
• 3:11
  back
• 3:11
  at
• 3:11
  it
• 3:12
  now,
• 3:13
  by
• 3:13
  the
• 3:13
  time
• 3:13
  they
• 3:13
  got
• 3:14
  after
• 3:14
  dinner,
• 3:14
  she
• 3:15
  was
• 3:15
  exhausted
• 3:16
  and
• 3:17
  she
• 3:17
  was
• 3:17
  so
• 3:17
  busy
• 3:18
  that
• 3:18
  she
• 3:18
  lost
• 3:18
  the
• 3:19
  ability
• 3:19
  to
• 3:19
  enjoy
• 3:20
  any
• 3:20
  family
• 3:20
  time.
• 3:22
  She
• 3:22
  didn't
• 3:22
  have
• 3:22
  the
• 3:22
  time
• 3:22
  to
• 3:22
  sit
• 3:23
  on
• 3:23
  the
• 3:23
  couch
• 3:23
  with
• 3:23
  us
• 3:24
  and
• 3:24
  reminisce
• 3:25
  about
• 3:25
  things.
• 3:26
  Finally,
• 3:26
  usually
• 3:27
  about
• 3:27
  7
• 3:27
  o'
• 3:27
  clock
• 3:28
  at
• 3:28
  night,
• 3:28
  she'd
• 3:29
  come
• 3:29
  in.
• 3:29
  You
• 3:29
  know,
• 3:29
  she'd
• 3:30
  still
• 3:30
  have
• 3:30
  her
• 3:30
  work.
• 3:31
  Her
• 3:31
  thing
• 3:31
  for
• 3:32
  cooking.
• 3:32
  I
• 3:32
  can't
• 3:32
  think
• 3:33
  of
• 3:33
  what
• 3:33
  it's
• 3:33
  called.
• 3:33
  But
• 3:33
  the
• 3:33
  thing
• 3:33
  for
• 3:33
  when
• 3:34
  you're
• 3:34
  cooking,
• 3:34
  she'd
• 3:34
  still
• 3:35
  have
• 3:35
  it
• 3:35
  on
• 3:35
  herself
• 3:35
  and
• 3:36
  she'd
• 3:36
  just
• 3:36
  plop
• 3:36
  down
• 3:37
  on
• 3:37
  the
• 3:37
  sofa
• 3:37
  and
• 3:37
  you
• 3:37
  could
• 3:37
  teach.
• 3:38
  She
• 3:38
  was
• 3:38
  tired.
• 3:39
  She
• 3:39
  didn't
• 3:40
  even
• 3:40
  want
• 3:40
  to
• 3:40
  connect
• 3:40
  at
• 3:40
  that
• 3:41
  point.
• 3:41
  It
• 3:41
  was
• 3:41
  just
• 3:41
  a
• 3:41
  blur
• 3:41
  afterwards.
• 3:44
  And
• 3:44
  I
• 3:44
  love
• 3:44
  what
• 3:44
  Max
• 3:44
  Lucado
• 3:45
  said.
• 3:45
  I
• 3:45
  found
• 3:46
  this
• 3:46
  quote
• 3:46
  for
• 3:46
  today's
• 3:46
  show.
• 3:46
  It
• 3:47
  doesn't
• 3:47
  quite
• 3:47
  fit,
• 3:47
  but
• 3:47
  I
• 3:48
  think
• 3:48
  it
• 3:48
  does
• 3:48
  in
• 3:48
  a
• 3:48
  lot
• 3:48
  of
• 3:48
  ways.
• 3:49
  He
• 3:49
  said,
• 3:49
  God
• 3:50
  didn't
• 3:50
  tell
• 3:51
  me,
• 3:51
  clean
• 3:51
  up
• 3:52
  before
• 3:52
  you
• 3:52
  come
• 3:52
  in.
• 3:53
  He
• 3:54
  offered
• 3:54
  this.
• 3:54
  He
• 3:54
  said,
• 3:55
  come
• 3:55
  in
• 3:55
  and
• 3:55
  I'll
• 3:55
  clean
• 3:56
  you
• 3:56
  up.
• 3:57
  It's
• 3:57
  not
• 3:57
  my
• 3:58
  grip
• 3:58
  on
• 3:58
  him
• 3:58
  that
• 3:58
  matters,
• 3:59
  but
• 3:59
  his
• 3:59
  grip
• 4:00
  on
• 4:00
  me.
• 4:00
  And
• 4:00
  his
• 4:01
  grip
• 4:01
  is
• 4:01
  for
• 4:01
  sure.
• 4:03
  So
• 4:03
  in
• 4:03
  his
• 4:04
  presence
• 4:04
  in
• 4:05
  my
• 4:05
  life,
• 4:08
  Christmas
• 4:08
  presents
• 4:09
  from
• 4:09
  Santa,
• 4:10
  that's
• 4:10
  nice.
• 4:12
  But
• 4:12
  the
• 4:12
  perpetual
• 4:13
  presence
• 4:13
  of
• 4:13
  Christ,
• 4:15
  that's
• 4:15
  life
• 4:15
  changing.
• 4:17
  And
• 4:17
  I,
• 4:17
  you
• 4:18
  know,
• 4:18
  the
• 4:18
  reason
• 4:18
  I
• 4:18
  picked
• 4:18
  that
• 4:18
  is
• 4:19
  the
• 4:19
  presence
• 4:19
  of
• 4:19
  Christ.
• 4:21
  We
• 4:21
  can
• 4:21
  all
• 4:21
  learn
• 4:22
  from
• 4:22
  that.
• 4:23
  It's
• 4:23
  not
• 4:23
  the
• 4:23
  season
• 4:24
  of
• 4:24
  the
• 4:24
  holiday.
• 4:24
  It's
• 4:25
  not
• 4:25
  the
• 4:25
  gifts.
• 4:25
  It's
• 4:25
  not
• 4:26
  all
• 4:26
  the
• 4:26
  stuff
• 4:26
  that
• 4:27
  you're
• 4:27
  putting
• 4:27
  out
• 4:27
  on
• 4:27
  the
• 4:28
  table
• 4:28
  and
• 4:28
  the
• 4:28
  decorations.
• 4:30
  It's
• 4:30
  your
• 4:30
  presence.
• 4:31
  Those
• 4:31
  are
• 4:31
  the
• 4:32
  things
• 4:32
  you're
• 4:32
  going
• 4:32
  to
• 4:32
  remember.
• 4:33
  So
• 4:33
  let's
• 4:33
  get
• 4:33
  back
• 4:33
  to
• 4:33
  our
• 4:34
  question
• 4:34
  today.
• 4:35
  How
• 4:35
  do
• 4:35
  we
• 4:35
  connect
• 4:36
  this
• 4:36
  Christmas,
• 4:36
  not
• 4:37
  lose
• 4:37
  ourselves?
• 4:38
  I
• 4:38
  want
• 4:39
  to
• 4:39
  start
• 4:39
  by
• 4:39
  saying
• 4:39
  this.
• 4:41
  First
• 4:41
  of
• 4:42
  all,
• 4:42
  stop
• 4:42
  looking
• 4:42
  for
• 4:43
  perfection.
• 4:43
  Your
• 4:44
  presence
• 4:44
  is
• 4:44
  greater
• 4:45
  than
• 4:45
  perfection.
• 4:45
  Nobody
• 4:46
  is
• 4:46
  going
• 4:46
  to
• 4:46
  remember
• 4:46
  that
• 4:47
  perfect
• 4:47
  dinner
• 4:47
  table.
• 4:47
  Sorry,
• 4:48
  Mom,
• 4:48
  I
• 4:48
  hate
• 4:49
  to
• 4:49
  spoil
• 4:49
  it
• 4:49
  for
• 4:49
  you.
• 4:50
  Nobody's
• 4:51
  gonna
• 4:51
  remember
• 4:51
  that
• 4:51
  you
• 4:51
  had
• 4:51
  the
• 4:52
  perfect
• 4:52
  tablecloth
• 4:53
  and
• 4:53
  the
• 4:53
  perfect
• 4:53
  fork
• 4:54
  and
• 4:54
  the
• 4:54
  knife
• 4:54
  and
• 4:54
  the
• 4:54
  cups
• 4:55
  and
• 4:55
  all
• 4:55
  the
• 4:55
  beautiful
• 4:56
  things.
• 4:56
  She
• 4:57
  had
• 4:57
  the
• 4:57
  best
• 4:57
  china
• 4:57
  for
• 4:58
  Christmas.
• 4:58
  I'm
• 4:58
  talking
• 4:58
  about
• 4:59
  had
• 4:59
  the
• 4:59
  holly
• 4:59
  and
• 4:59
  the
• 5:00
  Christmas
• 5:00
  trees
• 5:00
  on
• 5:00
  it.
• 5:02
  That's
• 5:02
  not
• 5:02
  what
• 5:02
  I
• 5:02
  remember.
• 5:04
  I
• 5:05
  remember
• 5:05
  the
• 5:05
  love.
• 5:07
  So
• 5:07
  start
• 5:07
  there.
• 5:07
  You
• 5:07
  don't
• 5:08
  have
• 5:08
  to
• 5:08
  be
• 5:08
  perfect.
• 5:10
  Just
• 5:10
  be
• 5:10
  present
• 5:11
  and
• 5:11
  don't
• 5:12
  get
• 5:12
  stuck
• 5:12
  in
• 5:12
  the
• 5:12
  busyness
• 5:13
  trap.
• 5:13
  It's
• 5:13
  so
• 5:13
  easy
• 5:13
  to
• 5:13
  get
• 5:14
  stuck
• 5:14
  in
• 5:14
  that
• 5:14
  busyness
• 5:15
  trap.
• 5:15
  We
• 5:15
  feel
• 5:16
  like
• 5:16
  we
• 5:16
  have
• 5:16
  this
• 5:16
  need
• 5:17
  to
• 5:17
  overdo
• 5:17
  to
• 5:17
  prove
• 5:18
  our
• 5:18
  love
• 5:18
  to
• 5:18
  somebody.
• 5:19
  You
• 5:19
  know,
• 5:19
  if
• 5:20
  I
• 5:20
  don't
• 5:20
  do
• 5:20
  it
• 5:20
  all,
• 5:20
  I
• 5:20
  think
• 5:21
  it's
• 5:21
  my
• 5:21
  mom
• 5:21
  felt
• 5:21
  that
• 5:22
  she
• 5:22
  wanted
• 5:22
  to
• 5:23
  make
• 5:23
  sure
• 5:23
  she
• 5:23
  was
• 5:23
  going
• 5:24
  overboard.
• 5:24
  She
• 5:24
  want
• 5:24
  us
• 5:24
  to
• 5:25
  feel
• 5:25
  that
• 5:25
  love.
• 5:27
  But
• 5:27
  love's
• 5:27
  not
• 5:27
  felt
• 5:28
  that
• 5:28
  way
• 5:28
  yet.
• 5:29
  That's
• 5:29
  part
• 5:29
  of
• 5:29
  it.
• 5:29
  But
• 5:30
  love
• 5:30
  is
• 5:30
  shown
• 5:30
  best
• 5:31
  through
• 5:31
  listening
• 5:32
  and
• 5:33
  being
• 5:33
  there
• 5:33
  for
• 5:33
  somebody.
• 5:34
  And
• 5:34
  I
• 5:34
  had
• 5:34
  to
• 5:35
  realize
• 5:35
  that
• 5:35
  in
• 5:36
  my
• 5:36
  life.
• 5:36
  That
• 5:36
  love
• 5:37
  sometimes
• 5:37
  is
• 5:37
  shown
• 5:37
  by
• 5:38
  listening.
• 5:39
  It's
• 5:39
  those
• 5:39
  conversations
• 5:40
  that
• 5:40
  matter.
• 5:41
  Not
• 5:41
  the
• 5:41
  perfect
• 5:41
  meal,
• 5:42
  not
• 5:42
  the
• 5:42
  perfect
• 5:42
  gifts,
• 5:43
  not
• 5:43
  the
• 5:43
  perfect
• 5:43
  decoration,
• 5:44
  that
• 5:44
  beautiful
• 5:45
  Christmas
• 5:45
  tree.
• 5:46
  That's
• 5:46
  all
• 5:46
  great.
• 5:47
  But
• 5:47
  it's
• 5:48
  those
• 5:48
  conversations
• 5:48
  that
• 5:49
  listening,
• 5:49
  connecting
• 5:50
  with
• 5:50
  your
• 5:50
  loved
• 5:51
  ones.
• 5:52
  There's
• 5:52
  nothing
• 5:52
  I'm
• 5:53
  going
• 5:53
  to
• 5:53
  encourage
• 5:53
  you
• 5:53
  to
• 5:53
  do.
• 5:53
  Slow
• 5:54
  down.
• 5:54
  Many
• 5:55
  people
• 5:55
  run
• 5:55
  themselves
• 5:56
  ragged.
• 5:57
  One
• 5:57
  of
• 5:57
  the
• 5:57
  things
• 5:57
  my
• 5:58
  wife
• 5:58
  does,
• 5:58
  and
• 5:58
  I
• 5:58
  think
• 5:58
  this
• 5:58
  is
• 5:59
  a
• 5:59
  great
• 5:59
  idea
• 5:59
  for
• 5:59
  any
• 5:59
  of
• 5:59
  the
• 5:59
  highest
• 6:00
  Thanksgiving,
• 6:00
  Christmas,
• 6:01
  she
• 6:01
  prepares
• 6:01
  ahead
• 6:02
  of
• 6:02
  time,
• 6:02
  she
• 6:02
  plans
• 6:02
  ahead,
• 6:03
  she
• 6:03
  cooks
• 6:03
  ahead,
• 6:03
  even.
• 6:04
  She
• 6:04
  prepares
• 6:04
  everything
• 6:05
  in
• 6:05
  advance.
• 6:06
  That
• 6:07
  way
• 6:07
  she
• 6:07
  can
• 6:07
  have
• 6:07
  those
• 6:08
  quiet
• 6:08
  moments
• 6:08
  together.
• 6:09
  She
• 6:10
  doesn't
• 6:10
  have
• 6:10
  to
• 6:10
  be
• 6:10
  stuck.
• 6:11
  Not
• 6:11
  that
• 6:11
  she
• 6:11
  doesn't
• 6:11
  still
• 6:12
  have
• 6:12
  time
• 6:12
  in
• 6:12
  the
• 6:12
  kitchen.
• 6:12
  Don't
• 6:13
  misunderstand.
• 6:13
  My
• 6:13
  wife
• 6:13
  puts
• 6:13
  out
• 6:14
  a
• 6:14
  beautiful
• 6:14
  setting
• 6:15
  for
• 6:15
  Christmas
• 6:15
  or
• 6:16
  for
• 6:16
  Thanksgiving.
• 6:17
  Those
• 6:17
  things
• 6:17
  are
• 6:17
  great.
• 6:17
  But
• 6:17
  it's
• 6:18
  those
• 6:18
  quiet
• 6:18
  moments,
• 6:20
  that
• 6:20
  togetherness,
• 6:21
  that
• 6:21
  really
• 6:22
  matters.
• 6:22
  And
• 6:22
  that's
• 6:22
  what
• 6:23
  changes
• 6:23
  the
• 6:23
  whole
• 6:23
  day.
• 6:23
  So
• 6:23
  here's
• 6:24
  another
• 6:24
  thing
• 6:24
  I'm
• 6:24
  going
• 6:24
  to
• 6:24
  encourage
• 6:24
  you
• 6:25
  to
• 6:25
  do.
• 6:25
  Set
• 6:25
  some
• 6:26
  boundaries
• 6:26
  for
• 6:26
  your
• 6:26
  family.
• 6:27
  Turn
• 6:28
  off
• 6:28
  that
• 6:28
  stupid
• 6:29
  phone.
• 6:29
  Just
• 6:29
  stop
• 6:30
  during
• 6:30
  the
• 6:30
  holidays,
• 6:31
  put
• 6:31
  the
• 6:31
  phones
• 6:31
  in
• 6:31
  a
• 6:31
  basket.
• 6:32
  It
• 6:32
  gets
• 6:32
  a
• 6:32
  great
• 6:32
  idea.
• 6:33
  Somebody
• 6:33
  told
• 6:33
  me
• 6:33
  about
• 6:33
  this.
• 6:33
  They
• 6:34
  said,
• 6:34
  ralph,
• 6:34
  what
• 6:34
  we
• 6:34

• 6:35
  next
• 6:35
  to
• 6:35
  the
• 6:35
  front
• 6:35
  door,
• 6:36
  when
• 6:36
  you
• 6:36
  come
• 6:36
  into
• 6:36
  my
• 6:36
  house,
• 6:37
  there's
• 6:37
  a
• 6:37
  basket.
• 6:37
  Everybody's

  or

• 6:39

  put
• 6:39
  in
• 6:39
  there.
• 6:40
  Here's
• 6:40
  the
• 6:40
  problem.
• 6:40
  They
• 6:40
  be
• 6:41
  blunt.
• 6:41
  Everybody's
• 6:42
  phone
• 6:42
  is
• 6:42
  also
• 6:42
  their
• 6:43

• 6:43
  Now,
• 6:43
  so
• 6:44
  you
• 6:44
  might
• 6:44
  have

• 6:45
  But
• 6:45
  listen,
• 6:46
  if
• 6:46
  you're

  sitting
• 6:46
  there

  scrolling,
• 6:47
  tell

  Let's

• 6:50
  You

  here's
• 6:53
  the
• 6:53
  big
• 6:54
  takeaway
• 6:54
  for
• 6:54
  today.
• 6:55
  Connection
• 6:56
  wins.
• 6:58
  The
• 6:59
  people
• 6:59
  you
• 7:00
  love
• 7:00
  need
• 7:00
  you.
• 7:02
  They
• 7:02
  need
• 7:02
  your
• 7:03
  time.
• 7:04
  They
• 7:04
  don't
• 7:04
  need
• 7:05
  your
• 7:05
  schedule.
• 7:05
  They
• 7:05
  don't
• 7:05
  need
• 7:06
  your
• 7:06
  performance.
• 7:07
  They
• 7:07
  don't
• 7:07
  need
• 7:07
  your
• 7:07
  fanciness.
• 7:08
  They
• 7:08
  don't
• 7:08
  need
• 7:09
  all
• 7:09
  the
• 7:09
  gifts.
• 7:10
  Those
• 7:10
  things
• 7:10
  are
• 7:10
  great.
• 7:11
  Show
• 7:11
  love

  those

  things.
• 7:12
  That's
• 7:12
  fantastic.
• 7:14
  But
• 7:15
  they
• 7:15
  want
• 7:15
  you.
• 7:16
  It's
• 7:17
  all
• 7:17
  about
• 7:17
  the
• 7:17
  relationships.
• 7:19
  Which
• 7:19
  leads
• 7:20
  me
• 7:20
  to
• 7:20
  today's
• 7:20
  Bible
• 7:21
  verse.
• 7:21
  This
• 7:21
  one
• 7:21
  comes
• 7:21
  to
• 7:21
  us
• 7:21
  from
• 7:22
  the
• 7:22
  book
• 7:22
  of
• 7:22
  John,
• 7:22
  probably
• 7:23
  the
• 7:23
  most
• 7:23
  poetic
• 7:24
  verse
• 7:24
  of
• 7:24
  the
• 7:24
  bible.
• 7:25
  John,
• 7:26
  chapter
• 7:26
  15,
• 7:27
  verse
• 7:27
  12.
• 7:27
  And
• 7:27
  it
• 7:27
  says
• 7:28
  this.
• 7:28
  My
• 7:28
  command
• 7:29
  is
• 7:29
  this.
• 7:30
  Love
• 7:30
  each
• 7:31
  other
• 7:31
  as
• 7:32
  I
• 7:32
  have
• 7:32
  loved
• 7:32
  you.
• 7:34
  And
• 7:34
  I
• 7:35
  just
• 7:35
  want
• 7:35
  to
• 7:35
  lean
• 7:35
  into
• 7:35
  that
• 7:36
  a
• 7:36
  minute
• 7:37
  because
• 7:37
  that's
• 7:37
  how
• 7:37
  we
• 7:38
  really
• 7:38
  show
• 7:38
  love,
• 7:39
  by
• 7:40
  our
• 7:40
  presence.
• 7:40
  Not
• 7:41
  those
• 7:41
  things
• 7:41
  under
• 7:41
  tree,
• 7:42
  not
• 7:42
  the
• 7:42
  presence,
• 7:43
  but
• 7:43
  your
• 7:44
  presence.
• 7:46
  That's
• 7:46
  how
• 7:46
  we
• 7:46
  show
• 7:46
  love.
• 7:47
  My
• 7:47
  command
• 7:47
  is
• 7:47
  this.
• 7:48
  Love
• 7:48
  each
• 7:48
  other
• 7:48
  as
• 7:49
  I
• 7:49
  have
• 7:49
  loved
• 7:49
  you.
• 7:51
  That's
• 7:52
  what
• 7:52
  Christ
• 7:52
  gives
• 7:52
  all
• 7:52
  of
• 7:53
  us,
• 7:53
  his
• 7:53
  presence
• 7:53
  in
• 7:54
  our
• 7:54
  lives.
• 7:55
  Your
• 7:55
  loved
• 7:56
  ones
• 7:56
  need
• 7:56
  the
• 7:56
  same
• 7:56
  thing.
• 7:57
  Your
• 7:57
  friends,
• 7:57
  your
• 7:57
  family,
• 7:58
  that's
• 7:58
  what
• 7:58
  they're
• 7:58
  looking
• 7:58
  for
• 7:58
  from
• 7:59
  you.
• 7:59
  So
• 7:59
  slow
• 8:00
  down.
• 8:01
  It
• 8:01
  doesn't
• 8:01
  have
• 8:01
  to
• 8:01
  be
• 8:01
  perfect.
• 8:02
  It
• 8:02
  doesn't
• 8:02
  have
• 8:02
  to
• 8:02
  be
• 8:02
  a
• 8:02
  big
• 8:03
  production.
• 8:03
  Let's
• 8:03
  pray
• 8:03
  together,
• 8:05
  Lord,
• 8:05
  as
• 8:05
  we
• 8:05
  get
• 8:06
  into
• 8:06
  this
• 8:06
  holiday
• 8:06
  season.
• 8:07
  Help
• 8:07
  me
• 8:07
  to
• 8:08
  slow
• 8:08
  down,
• 8:08
  Lord,
• 8:08
  and
• 8:08
  help
• 8:09
  me
• 8:09
  to
• 8:09
  be
• 8:09
  fully
• 8:09
  present
• 8:10
  with
• 8:10
  those
• 8:10
  I
• 8:10
  love.
• 8:11
  Not
• 8:11
  so
• 8:11
  worried
• 8:11
  about
• 8:12
  that
• 8:12
  perfect
• 8:12
  day.
• 8:13
  And
• 8:14
  I
• 8:14
  just
• 8:14
  ask
• 8:14
  right
• 8:14
  now
• 8:15
  that
• 8:15
  you
• 8:15
  would
• 8:15
  teach
• 8:15
  me
• 8:15
  to
• 8:16
  value
• 8:16
  that
• 8:16
  connection
• 8:17
  over
• 8:17
  control.
• 8:17
  I
• 8:18
  feel
• 8:18
  like
• 8:18
  I
• 8:18
  got
• 8:18
  to
• 8:18
  control
• 8:19
  everything.
• 8:19
  I
• 8:19
  feel
• 8:20
  like
• 8:20
  I
• 8:20
  got
• 8:20
  to
• 8:20
  be
• 8:20
  in
• 8:20
  charge.
• 8:20
  I
• 8:21
  got
• 8:21
  to
• 8:21
  make
• 8:21
  sure
• 8:21
  everything
• 8:22
  is
• 8:22
  perfect.
• 8:22
  The
• 8:22
  table
• 8:23
  is
• 8:23
  set,
• 8:23
  the
• 8:24
  china
• 8:24
  is
• 8:24
  correct,
• 8:25
  the
• 8:25
  tree
• 8:25
  is
• 8:25
  perfect,
• 8:25
  the
• 8:26
  lights
• 8:26
  are
• 8:26
  beautiful.
• 8:28
  But
• 8:28
  help
• 8:28
  me
• 8:28
  to
• 8:29
  remember
• 8:29
  that
• 8:29
  your
• 8:29
  presence
• 8:30
  is
• 8:30
  the
• 8:31
  important
• 8:31
  part.
• 8:31
  And
• 8:31
  my
• 8:31
  presence
• 8:32
  to
• 8:32
  the
• 8:32
  people
• 8:32

  me
• 8:33
  is
• 8:34
  what
• 8:34
  really
• 8:34
  brings
• 8:34
  peace.
• 8:35
  So

• 8:36
  reflect
• 8:36
  that,
