First Things First, Slow Down
It seems these days the joy of Christmas must penetrate our busy schedules and our hectic planning if it is going to find us at all.
We are a doing society; so much so, that we think something is wrong if we are not doing something.
We could do well by slowing down though and remembering what is most important.
“Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you.” (Matt.6:33)
Wouldn’t it be great if the joy of Christmas finds us first? At that point, our busyness would not be a burden at all. We would “whistle while we work.”
However, this may not be the sequence of things for you or me this year. So, amid it all we can take a moment, slow down and remember why we are doing what we are doing.
Jesus is the reason for the season. We do what we do to the glory of God and in celebration the love and joy that the Savior brings.
Amen
