It’s the Monday before Christmas. The sun is hiding behind the clouds and the house is quiet. I love mornings like these: still, quiet, cozy. But I know what’s coming…the list. The list of last minute things that need to be purchased or wrapped or cleaned or baked. But this morning, I’ll take all of the quiet I can and soak in it. I’ll reflect on the real Christmas Story. Imagine the journey that Mary and Joseph took those thousands of years ago. Through the desert. Full of anticipation. Full of anxiety, I’m sure. But full of Faith.
As you approach your Monday list of to-do’s. Take a few minutes and reflect on the Miracle and the Hope, and the Love that’s coming. Center yourselves there. Because this weary world needs to stand on the Hope and Promise of our Savior!
