Signs of the Season


Thanksgiving has come and gone and it's all about Christmas in the Wilson household.
Yesterday, we (poor Allen had to help) had our first job for my new decorating business. Every muscle in my body hurts today. That 12 foot tree seemed so big at 9PM last night after 6 short hours of decorating. Signs of the Season?
I must admit that as a family, we had a bit of a stressful Thanksgiving and I was glad to see everyone go back to school today. Signs of the Season?
When we arrived home last night about 10PM, our house was a living mess........decorations still out waiting to be put on our trees, dishes in the sink (our dishwasher is broke), Matthew waiting for help on his project, stuff everywhere from his project, Brittney laying on the couch in pain because of her wisdom teeth coming in, my father-in-law doing dishes for us, and to top it off.......we were hungry because we did not have dinner. Signs of the Season?
Allen and I are both getting our Christmas cold and we are about to hit some very busy days ahead again. Signs of the Season?
We can all think of all the things we need to do and get done this holiday season, there are parties for hosting, marshmallows for toasting, caroling out in the snow.....WAIT that's a song!!
Really, all of these things are Signs of the Season.
We need to keep in focus that the Sign of the Season is that a baby came to save the world. It was the most important single event that would give you and I everlasting life. What a gift...How's that for a Sign of the Season!!
So this Christmas season, put the stuff aside and take time to remember that there is STILL a REASON FOR THE SEASON and WISE MEN STILL SEEK HIM!!
