Greetings in Christ!
This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it! Let us rejoice in Christmas Day being only eight days away, and let us be glad for those eight days to deal with any last-minute tasks. Whether it is a gift or two we still need to get, or special treats to prepare, it’s good that we have just a few more days to take care of holiday business before the holiday actually arrives! And let us be glad for a bit of a warm-up outside, so some of the accumulated snow and ice can melt away making our travels more convenient, and most importantly, safer!
These last few days of the Advent season can easily become so packed with activities, and so filled with anxiety over what’s left to be done, that we can lose the whole season to the last-minute scrambles; and that would be a tragedy. All of our preparations, both spiritual and secular, have led us to the cusp of Christmas, with all of the hope, peace, joy, and love that the season embodies. We urge you to not lose the gifts of the season to a quest for one last gift, or one more plate of cookies. Those things that are truly important will be taken care of in due time; maybe this is a good time to remind you that Christmas isn’t a one-day event, but a twelve-day season of celebration. So, if you feel as if you’ve run out of time, you haven’t! Embrace these last days of Advent, and make the upcoming birth of Jesus the Christ be the focus of all that you do!
Blessings,
Karen and Greg
