I stopped and took one last look at all the beautiful decorations that filled our house. (Thanks to my mom) and a wave of sadness came over me. Christmas has already come and gone, all in the blink of an eye. The presents have been opened, the story of Jesus has been told, discussed, and celebrated, and now…the decorations and lights have come down. It’s over…or is it?
Only the temporary, the presents, the lights, the decorations, even the Christmas music. But one thing remains, the life of Jesus. His birth was just the beginning…the beginning of great things to come.
As I pondered on that wonderful thought the sadness lifted and joy filled my heart. The Prince of Peace, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the Son of the Most High God is alive. And He lives within you and me!
Celebrating Christ is 24/7, 365 days a year!
Does yours end when Christmas ends, or does your celebration continue on?
Prayer: My precious Lord and Savior, my heart swells with joy and love as I think of Your greatness. I am so thankful for the life You lived here on earth. From Your birth to Your death and now seated on the throne, You Abba Father rein. Amen
