In 4 days but still, if you are like me, you are knee deep in preparations. Or in my case at this very moment avoiding those very needed preparations. I was feeling a little crazed last week thinking of everything I still had to do. Funny thing is, I still have almost everything on my list to do that I had last week but the crazed feeling, not so much. I decided over the weekend, that it didn't matter. What would get done would get done, what didn't would be okay.
I still want Christmas to go well. I want to remember to buy all the things I need for Christmas dinner, to wrap the presents, send the cards, clean my house (that is the worst because it is bad! Really, really, really bad. When your 7 year old tells you the toilet needs to be cleaned, you know it is bad), drive around and let the kids see the lights, make perfect memories for them. But I have decided not to be uptight about it. (which is stressing my mom out a little). My husband might disagree. He might think I am still stressing about it. But I am not. Really. I have peace about it.
Ask me again in 2 days and I might feel differently. But today, even though I have literally been gone all day running errands, I am good.
So this week, I am praying we each have memorable Christmas's. That our kids will begin developing an understanding of what it is about. That it will be more than presents. That Christ's light will shine.
I am so grateful for an amazing God who sent His son for us, knowing Jesus would die a terrible death, loving us so deeply.
Merry Christmas!
