Today is the first Sunday of advent. Christmas is upon us. I love Christmas. There is really nothing I don't love about Christmas. The twinkling lights, the smells of cinnamon and peppermint, the music, even the Christmas story in the Bible is one of my favorites. The only thing that I don't like about Christmas is the tendency to get into a rut of busyness and miss all the beauty of it. It's a season that can get full of many other things that it's easy to forget to take the time to really enjoy it. I can already see the potential of this for me. Life is full. I'm up to my eye balls in work. I'm living, breathing and dreaming about our Christmas musical at church. There are so many details to think through, props, lines, costumes, song lyrics etc, etc. But I don't want to miss the joy. I want to take time to slow down and BREATH . I want to focus my heart on the reason behind the celebration. The sacrifice of a God made man on our behalf...
