Whew,
it’s that time of the year where we’re checking our list, checking it twice,
trying to determine who is naughty; who’s nice and while we’re at it, cooking,
cleaning, planning, preparing, shopping…and anything else you can think of to
add to the list…but why?
Thanks for joining me today for Coffee Hour with
Chicklit Power and Thursday’s Trench Truth.
Why do we do what we do around the holidays?
Nowhere in scripture does it say we are to make ourselves crazy and imbalanced
with a to-do list that wraps around our house and down our driveways. But what
He does say is to “be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the
Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain…” (1st Corinthians15:58)
I made a decision several years ago that if I
wasn’t able to see the Lord in the things I was doing as a way to prepare for
the holidays in the name of celebrating HIM, then I wasn’t about to do them. He
doesn’t want us pushing ourselves to a level of teetering on the ledge of
craziness, and tottering on the verge of a financial crisis…all in the name of
celebrating His birth!
The only
way we can abound in the work of the Lord is to stay plugged in to the Lord; it is then we will be able to determine why we do what we
do…especially around this time of the year.
Truthfully,
Evinda
