Two weeks before Christmas and all through the house the creatures were stirring and wrapping all those gifts. They were busy writing lists of all the things they wanted. They were busy running to and fro in the frenzy to get the best of the best. They were looking a little like ants running all around. The atmosphere was one of nerves on end and busy schedules that never seem to end.
Why? Why do we get so crazy this time of year?? Why do we allow ourselves to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of crowds? Is this what the true meaning of Christmas is all about?
Is Christmas not suppose to be about giving to others those things that money cannot buy? Is it not suppose to be a part of our everyday life, no matter the date on the calendar? Then how come we get so caught up with craziness?
This has been a year to remember and one to look back on and see how short life really is. I do not mean to sound down or depressed but I have had a new outlook on the real meaning of Christmas and wonder why do I allow myself to get all caught up with the craziness of it all.
We all need Jesus, we all need to "taste and see that the Lord is good." I need to learn to worship my Savior more each day and to see His grace, mercy, love and forgiveness each day of the year. To make Christmas a part of my everyday life. To give of Jesus each day not just in December.
