So this is Christmas, what have you done? Have you posted all your Christmas cards yet? You can't blame the post if you haven't mailed them yet! Have you bought all those presents? Have you got your shopping in? Have you got the turkey? Have you done a 'Delia' and sorted out out your Christmas fayre fit for a king? Have you prepared the Christmas pudding? Have you baked the minced pies? Have you got a light? No, not for the fags, you've given them up! No, a light for Christmas. Before you think this is all sentimental twee, think on: When you look up into a midwinter night sky you see lights. Loads of lights : stars, planets, the moon in an awesome display of creation. Jesus - the Son - said he is the Light of the World. A light to your way. A light into your life. And if you let Him in He will lighten your load too. Not just all the stuff around Christmas (and maybe we should live simply in order to simply live), but the other stuff too : The inner stuff...our spirit. Jesus wants to be the spark to a flame in our lives. Will He find room in the 'in' of your life this Christmas and through into a new year? |
