Today is our last official day of work before Christmas... I should be excited, relieved, in celebration mode, but I'm a little hesitant to hear the gunshot that starts the fourteen day race ahead of us. With so much to do in such a short time, how do we keep "the Gift" of Christmas in perspective? How do we keep Christ our focus when we are in the middle of this holiday mess?
And in my pondering, the Holy Spirit reminded me of something my sister-in-law, Lori, suggested just a few days ago. Even though the discussion wasn't about our here and now, her suggestion is resonating in my heart and soul this morning.
"Make it a seek and find." She said.
So, that is what I will do. As we are out and about these next two weeks, I will search for Him. I will look for Him in the faces of the people we see, on the shelves of the stores we shop, in the miles of roads we travel, in the conversations we overhear as well as the ones we speak. I will search for Him in the gifts we purchase and in the ones we wrap and unwrap, in the home we have yet to decorate, in the letters I read and in the lines I write. I will search for Him in the foods we bake, in the songs we sing, in the laughter of the little ones, and in the tears of young and old.
What about you? Will you make this a season of "Seek-and-Find" too?
