It's here. It's Christmas week. The Advent calendars are nearing their end, the Christmas Eve service is almost ready, and the incarnation is about to break forth into our dark world.
I have a long list of things to do this week, both at work and home. I'd imagine that's true for most of us. However, this week is going to be awesome. And do you know why? Because we'll celebrate the mystery of the Christ child - a virgin mother, a heavenly Father, a stinky stable, a feed trough, angels, shepherds. We'll be led in by luminaria, illumined by candles, comforted by a familiar story, and sent out singing carols.
Christmas is going to be awesome this year. Christmas is going to be awesome this week. No amount of trivial tasks will steal the joy of the message of Christmas: God is with us.
