Advent-ing towards Christmas

Standard

I’m shocked that Christmas is coming so fast… yeah, they warned us with a late Thanksgiving, but geez it’s 3 weeks away to Christmas Day. I only got rid of the Halloween candy recently and that was in WARM weather in comparison to the chill now…

It’s not the calendar, but the chill in the air that does help me usher in the feeling of December and that of the Christmas Spectacular almost side show busy. But it’s the reason meaning of Christmas which is captivating. And so, slowly, I have begun another thin precious book (“Why the Nativity” by David Jeremiah who wrote “Answers about Heaven “), about answering questions about the Nativity, not the building but the ENTRY of HEAVENLY HEALING, that comes with JESUS as a BABY. Christmas completed.

I must remind us that Christmas doesn’t start at Christmas. The precariousness that we know of a baby being born in a manger is so unique that it demonstrates ALL THE MORE of God being in charge and giving charge of a baby to a family He picked to shepherd the great Shepherd. 

This little book, “Why the Nativity”, inexpensive on ebay, is priceless in the reminder that God sees the fullness of time and our place in it, our moving time is but a small yet crucial placement for Him in us. The book reminds that the prophets were placed to guide us in both knowing what will happen and knowing WHO is happening. God is happened, happening, will happen – because God never changes and always exists. The end is not an end but a beginning we can’t fathom.

Do we have to fear the future? No, God is already there. Just keep moving like that donkey delivered Mary, and carry the LIGHT of the Christmas Spirit always, no matter the date…

Keep John 8:12 in mind:

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

Amen
