Before X-mas
X-mas is sooo close. Make sure you have the X-mas atmosphere around you. With a lot of discipline you can get where you want, these days. After cleaning the house it would be so pitiful again, not having anyobody around you to share the joy with. Make sure you pick a decent company. Do not leave the candles for a special ocassion. This is the time to use them. Burn them, and enjoy them. Take the gifts with a lot of passion. Enjoy the cinnamon scent, in the air. Do not have empty moments. Fill your moments with music. God is good and he provided plenty of drink and fruit. It is recommended, that we do not over-eat, but eat just sufficient.
If you are more pretetious, you might need more time to get ready. But never mind. It is worth it.
I am sure you plan to meet the Lord, in the manger. Do not be upset, if things turn out different. You might have many things on your heart, to share with Him, but when you see Him, maybe a single sound will not come out of your mouth, because His glory will dumb you. I invite God now to give such special moments to us this holiday season.
