Somehow
the things of Christmas have taken over THE one thing of Christmas: Jesus. The
preparations for the season can overwhelm our schedules, over-tax our budgets,
over-indulge our stomachs which all overtake our focus on Christ.
Therefore,
holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts
on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest. Hebrews 3:1
Prepare
for your celebration by fixing your thoughts on Jesus. Don’t let the less important
take you from the celebration of the birth of the Savior. Joy to the world! The
Lord has come. Let earth receive her king!
Jesus,
Keep our thoughts on the reason for the season.
Forgive our over-emphasis on things that do not honor You. We celebrate Your
birth this season. The One who saves. It is all about You.
Amen.
