I'm Ready and Waiting

I am always ready for Christmas. In fact...Christmas music is year-round! What I really look forward to-besides family-is decorating. And I'm making myself wait. It's not easy! Small things are "accidentally" making an appearance: a tea cup, some ornaments, an evergreen swag, etc. I'm thinking right now about the thrill of waiting for the holidays...and feeling guilty that I don't usually have that same thrill for Christ's return...and even just for time with Him now. Am I really so unimaginative that I can't believe that everything about Christ is more exciting than one little holiday celebrating Him?

As I learn to anticipate (ready and waiting) an ever increasing closeness to Christ (and His return), I hope small things will also make their appearance in my life: Grace, wisdom, courage, etc.

On a side note, I met Grandma at a little cafe/boutique for coffee, and she bought this angel ornament for me! I love getting ornaments as gifts!
