Christmas Day is two days away... here's my checklist:- Home decorated
- 409 cards sent
- A fresh loaf of cinnamon raisin bread has been baked and delivered to every neighbor on my street
- Presents wrapped and under the tree
- Mother-in-law here
- Brother and his wife here
- Daddy Santa is ready to visit on Christmas Eve (evil grin)
- Turkey and trimmings ready for the big dinner
I am ready for the material things, and now I am readying my heart. What's that? Contemplating, reflecting on the past year, thinking about those whom I love and about whom I care. Thinking of ways that I can help or lend a hand. To me, that's what Christmas is about: the reason for the season, the spirit of caring, loving, grace, and joy.
Life is short: Keep the faith and keep it focused.
