We Tend To Dash Around
We live in a hustle and bustle world where people dash around. We have many things on our minds and try to accomplish them in one day. We run from store to store, trying to find that perfect gift for someone. We may spend hours shopping online for that black Friday special. We have too many obligations and try to juggle everything as best as possible, which tends to catch up with us eventually. After all, Rome was not built in one day.
Dashing Around With Family
Family members tire of dashing around, and young ones may start crying. Parents get mad and cranky after a shopping trip, especially if no one seems to get what they were after. The women will want to shop around for clothes, and the men will want to go to the hardware store for a tool that is finally on sale that they have wanted to add to their tool collection for years. Kids want to go to a toy store, and the older family members want to sit down and relax after a full day of dashing from store to store.
Too Many Things On Your To-Do List
Holiday cooking and baking. Make some of your items ahead of time, such as cookies and other things that you could freeze and unthaw later on. Decorating the tree, inviting guests and family over for holiday gatherings, sending out Christmas cards, wrapping up or mailing gifts, and so much more can wear you out quickly. Make realistic plans for holiday gatherings. Buy plenty of appetizers, have family games on hand, and watch holiday parades and sports on TV. Put those cell phones out of sight and visit. Don’t be rude and text back and forth at any family gatherings. Visit with family members around the Christmas table and Thank God for your many blessings.
Dashing Back And Forth With School Activities
Attend your children’s plays, sporting events, speeches, and more. Your children will be grateful that you attended all of their events. Always make time for your kids. Kids grow up quickly, and they will remember that you cheered them on at all their achievements during their school years.
Always Make Time For God In Your Life
Do not dah around on Sunday. Sunday is the Lord’s day, so give your entire day to the Lord, and thank him for blessing you on each day of your life journey. Remember, Christ is the reason for the Christmas season. Christmas is not about gifts. Christmas is about the Lord Jesus’ birth in a lowly manger with no crib for a bed. Without Christ, you would not be forgiven for your sins. Your life would be pointless without Jesus in it. Don’t dash around after something that you may lose track of what Christmas means and what it stands for. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for your many blessings in my life.
