By now the big day and all its “fa la la la la’s” are over. This weekend you might start to take down the tree, lights and decorations. You might try to make some returns at the mall. (God bless you!) You might even try to finish or toss the leftover cookies and candy. So much to do as “fast away the old year passes; hail the new ye lads and lasses.” Take one more moment and revisit our question: how will the baby change us this year?
Scrooge becomes known as a man that “…knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive possessed the knowledge.” They say that the Grinch’s “heart grew three sizes that day!” Kevin realizes he actually loves his family, Scott Calvin becomes a good father, and George Bailey realizes he has “a wonderful life.” How about you? Is this the year to bury the hatchet with a former friend, volunteer to make a difference in peoples’ lives, finally join a bible study group or bless a charity with a significant gift?
No matter what you do to respond to the baby’s arrival, know that he is here to bless you and guide you and give you peace all through the year!
Isaiah 9:7 His government and its peace will never end. He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David for all eternity. The passionate commitment of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies will make this happen!
