HERE HE COMES

As I sit and have my cup of coffee with Jesus, I am excited to begin preparation of Christmas.  Today, I will begin putting out decorations for a season that brings Jesus present in a Unique Way.  I am going to bring that energy to life.

I’ll be putting out Christmas lights to brighten up this world.  I’ll be putting up a tree and decorating it.  I’ll be getting my Advent wreath ready for four weeks of anticipation and excitement, preparing for Jesus’s coming!  I will set up a Nativity scene (but no Jesus in it yet) to remind me of the journey and story.  I will unpack my mother’s favorite decoration, a bowl made from peppermints made by my grandmother!  I will begin playing Christmas music and enjoying the Scriptures of the season.

This year, I will do everything I can to bring the true spirit of Christmas to myself and to everyone I encounter.  We need Jesus.  We need Jesus now more than ever.  We need the light of Christ to shine on our world!  What a great day to get ready, because ready or not, HERE HE COMES!
