Okay, so it's December 1st. Our children were given a book for this month. It's an Advent Christmas Carousel. They are so excited that December is finally here so they can open a window each day. The time just doesn't go fast enough for them. Brock said today, "Why can't it be tomorrow so we can open another window?" Such excitement for the unknown...but maybe not because I heard him telling Hannah later..."I know that Jesus is born on number 25!"
This is the most wonderful time of the year...when we have an open opportunity to share the Good News...with everyone we meet. My prayer is that during this time, I will not become irritated over a long line...frustrated with "the new person" checking me out...aggravated over mislabeled items at a store...but rather I will allow Jesus to live through me to be seen by those I meet.
I know each day that "little eyes are watching me"...four sets of them most days...and I want them to know that Jesus is the Reason for this season!
