Why do we get so hurried and wrapped up in the Christmas rush? Why don't we slow down and remember what Christmas is about? I catch myself umpteen times a day mentally checking off how many gifts I've yet to purchase, checking my money stash to make sure I have enough left, checking my calendar to see if I'm free, plus the regular routine of taking care of home and family. Christmas is a celebration of the birth of my Savior and Lord. Why treat that so carelessly. All that I have, all that I am, come from him. Every day I fail to teach my children the true meaning of this season. Every day I fail to tell someone of his love for them.
Lord Jesus, slow down my pace and allow me to focus on the true meaning of this joyous season. It's not about shopping, or trees, or stockings, or a jolly man in a red suit. It's about your gift to us and how you came into this world, just like us, to save us.
