Ready for Christmas?
Posted on December 22, 2009 with 0 comments
I have been asked that question a blue-million times lately. Am I ready for Christmas? But everyone who asks is really asking, "Have you bought all the presents that you had to buy?" So to answer their real question, I have to say, "No, not at all." But as to am I really ready for Christmas...I really don't know.
It seems that I really lack the traditional "Christmas Spirit" this year. And it occurs to me that I seem to lack it a bit more each year. Perhaps it's just fatigue. Perhaps life is so exhausting and the constant battling of problems and forces of darkness just wears a guy out. But it's left me feeling kind of numb to the whole thing.
But if you think of Christmas as Jesus' coming into this world...and ponder on the fact that He is due to come again...I think I can safely say...YES! I'm Ready! Come, Lord Jesus. That's the Christian way of saying, "Beam me up, Jesus. I've had enough!"
Think about this question, because it really is of VITAL importance..."Are YOU ready for Christmas?"
