Busy

Oh Jesus, we come into this world alone and we leave alone. It really is just You and me... I do long to spend more time with You, because it gives me great joy. This time of year gets so busy, that we forget that You are the reason for the season. It's like planning and giving a wedding; we get so wrapped up in all of the details, that we forget that it should be about the love and the time this couple is about to commit to. And it's like being pregnant - the mom-to-be is so concentrated on the delivery, that she's not thinking about when the baby arrives. And so it is with the time leading up to Christmas. So much shopping. So much decorating. So many Christmas parties. So many school concerts. So many school parties. So much baking. So much gathering of families. And yet.... all You want, Jesus, is to spend time with us. You want to help us tell others about how much You love them. And that's what I want to. I love You, sweet Jesus.
