Merry Christmas! I’m willing to wager that your Christmas season hasn’t gone exactly as you had imagined it would. You probably had at least a few glitches with gift buying: couldn’t find the right color, size, or whatever, didn’t get what you hoped for &/or didn’t get the enthusiastic response you anticipated from one of the people to whom you gave a special gift. Maybe someone you invited isn’t coming or you didn’t get an invite to where you wanted to go. Perhaps you ended up doing all the cooking this year or worse — you got locked out of the kitchen.
The good news is that Christmas isn’t about us at all. It’s so fitting & perfect that we are in church this morning to worship the Lord! Soon all your holiday gaffs & foiled plans will be forgotten but He shall reign for ever & ever!
