This is it, the last week of the Advent Season. Actually there is only 6 days left until Christmas. My goal this season has been to find intimacy in the middle of the busiest season of the year. I challenge you to not only reflect of the story of Christmas found in Luke 2 and Matthew 1, but reflect of the things that are in our lives. Lets heighten the awareness of the things that are going on in our lives.
Christmas for you probably has changed throughout the years of your life. The innocents is lost and the business is increased. Loved ones have passed on and traditions have been forgotten. But there is one constant of the season. There would be no Christmas without birth of Jesus. We would not give any gifts if God hadn't given us the greatest gift of all. The Christmas season is what you make of it. No one can ever replace the loved ones in your life that are gone, but thank God for the new people that you have met and do life with. Traditions are forgotten and make room for you to start new ones.
For some Christmas is just another day. For others you are dreading the time with family because of the tension that comes with it. For some it will be the best day of the year, full of family, friends, and lots of memories. I encourage you this week to find the bright spots. To make the best out of what this season holds for you. Remember Jesus did not reject our world that was full of greed and poverty, but came to make a difference. Let us carry on His name and keep making the impact that He has called us to make.
