Burning Question:
What is the best Christmas song ever written, and why?
Morning Devotional:
Panic has started to set in! I promised myself a couple of months ago that I was not going to have a stressful Christmas. But things are getting away from me and the theme has turned from peaceful to frantic. I’m scrambling to get shopping finished, travel plans set, all of the things done that need to be done. My “perfect” Christmas is not going to be the stress-free, idyllic holiday I hoped for.
Last night, though, I realized that the very first Christmas was a series of disruptions, travel delays, and improvised plans. Jesus didn’t come because we had everything figured out; He came because we didn’t. If He could find a home in a messy stable, He can certainly find a home in my chaotic, unfinished life. I say we let go of the polished image of Christmas and simply make room for the Savior.
