Every year I hear about how Christmas is so hard for so many… how lots of people find no joy in it at all… how it’s a high time of depression, hopelessness and loneliness. And every year I find myself reminiscing over how fast it flew and how I never had the chance to *fill in the blank*.
I’m tired of being too busy to be intentional.
This year I want to be too intentional to be busy.
This year I want to do all the things I’ve been wishing I could do:
Invite my neighbours over for dinner…
Volunteer at a shelter…
Give some Christmas gifts to an organization in need…
Host a carol sing…
Play carols for a Seniors facility…
Concentrate on spreading joy wherever I go…
Why?
Because Christmas is so much more than the commercial mess culture has made it and I know the only way I can create new tradition and form new meaning is by stepping out and tangibly putting my heart into motion.
So that’s what I’m gonna do.
Ask yourself this:
What does Christmas mean to Christ and am I representing Him at Christmas?
‘Tis the season for sharing hope, love and joy.
