Room In Our Hearts…
Today I’m tying up a lot of loose ends. Please tell me that I’m not alone in having tons of little things to finish up for Christmas! Included on my list:
- Purchase last 4 gifts
- Find a big box for one gift
- Wrap all 4 gifts
- Prepare a gift to mail – and mail!
- Plan menu for next week
- Go grocery shopping – it’s going to be a job!
- Accompany my sister when she goes into labor (C’mon Lily, it’s a great day to be born!)
- Attend my great uncle’s funeral
I’ve really been thinking about the busy-ness of this season. It is so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle (and stress) of hunting for the perfect gifts, wrapping, baking, decorating, traveling, giving, singing and visiting – to name just a few of the things we do!
But…
I don’t want my heart to be busy. As corny as it sounds, I truly want to remember the reason for the season, the reason we are celebrating.
Christ Incarnate.
Is there room in our hearts for Him today?
“Oh come to my heart Lord Jesus;
There is room in my heart for Thee”
There is room in my heart for Thee”
Thanks for the great reminder! It is so easy to get caught up in the busyness of the season and forget the reason that we do all of it.
You are definintly not the only one who still has loose ends to tie up! And it is very easy to forget the reason for the season – thank you for the reminder. Hope you and your family have a Very Merry Christmas!
You're not the only one – which would explain my blogging absence the past couple weeks. I'm behind :o)
I feel the same way! Too many last minute things to do, but we need to make time to praise the Lord, and celebrate his birth!
You're definitely not the only one! Thanks for the good reminder! Love you.
