I was reflecting on the day late last night and it dawned on me, it has been a month since Christmas. Wow, I know time flies but come on, that was fast. Those thoughts made me inventory my life since Christmas and specifically the impact of Christmas.
I still have a couple of gift cards left, I’ve used a couple of the gifts, eaten the candy and worn some articles of clothing but what about Jesus’ entry into our world. Am I already back into the same old rut and daily pattern?
I definitely sensed a “nearness” throughout the holidays. It was in the songs, sermons and devotionals. Family and friends made great memories, too. However, the focus that led up to December 25 was replaced with a focus on new tasks and due dates. I needed that reminder last night to celebrate Jesus is here! Don’t miss it no matter how great and thoughtful the gifts were or what’s next on your calendar. What lasts beyond the big day is Jesus…everyday.
