Tis the…
So it is December 1st. Black Friday was four days ago, yesterday was Cyber Monday. You may be getting flooded with wish lists from friends and relatives. Many are working their budgets to see how much they can give to their family and friends. There is a lot of pressure. Decorating, celebrating, parties, the end of yet another year…
Blurred Season…
In the midst of all of that, sometimes the Advent gets blurred. It is settled that Christ was not really born now, but now is when we celebrate His birth. It is a challenge, sometimes difficult, with all the Christmas movies, songs, stuff, to keep in focus what this is really all about.
Remember to Focus
As hard as it is, work to keep in focus what is really important now. It is the Advent. That gift is much better than anything that will be given you or you will give anyone else. You might want to spend some extra time in Luke 2 to help you with this. I do.
