I love this time of year, and the memories of Christmas past. Yet, we seem to be more focused on the future and the next best thing. This time of year seems to center around the next gaming console, the next smartphone, the next toy that our kids just have to have, only to find they enjoy the box it came in instead.
Each year around this time, we rush to get to the next store, to get that next item, to get past the holiday, and to get to next year. Can we do something different this week? Let’s not let “the next” get in the way of celebrating the past and seeing the awe-inspiring moments of comfort and joy that manifest this time of year.
Many of our homes will be brimming with family and friends. Hit the pause on life, if just for a moment, and be present for them. Also, know that many homes will be quite empty, so open yours to those who are alone this Christmas. And if that person is you, please know that you are not alone, for God traveled from heaven to earth to a manger to bring us heavenly peace.
