Christmas is a wonderful time of year – decorations, twinkling lights, sweet music, Christmas cookies, and hot chocolate. But it can also be a time that makes us wonder.
- I wonder why I am so tired?
- I wonder how I will ever get everything done?
- I wonder what I can buy for that certain someone?
- And, if you are like me, I wonder where I hid that gift?
But maybe instead of wondering about all the problems the holidays can bring, we focus our wonder in a different direction.
- I wonder what it was like to be a young woman and be pregnant without a man?
- I wonder what God’s thoughts were when He sent us baby Jesus?
- I wonder how big His love is to give up the presence of his only son – knowing that He would soon die?
- I wonder how many people are being saved on this day because of that tiny baby?
- I wonder how many people have been saved in the last 2023 years?
- I wonder how shocking it was for shepherds to see the dark night sky flooded with light and angels and glorious music?
- I wonder what glorious things in heaven await those who know Jesus as Savior?
- I wonder if they celebrate Christmas in heaven?
What are you wondering today?
I pray that God will bless you with peace and joy this season, even in you busyness, as you wonder about His greatest gift – Jesus.
Merry Christmas,
Linnea
