"There's nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be a child." -Erma Bombeck
So it's three days till Christmas, and I'm longing for the excitement I felt as a child. What happened to the great anticipation and counting down the minutes till the happy occasion? Why do I not seem to care anymore? I kinda feel like Charlie Brown in Charlie Brown Christmas. He feels so bogged down by commercialism that he can't get into the spirit. I must say I've felt like this for the past few years. I'm not really sure what happened. I used to be the crazy teenager who listened to Christmas music in July and longed for that winter day in December.
Are we as humans able to create this excitement ourselves or is it instilled in us through a greater source?
Lord, may you bless me with true joy this Christmas. Instill in my heart the true reason why we celebrate this special day. Let me be joyful and share my joy with those in my life. Thank you for your everlasting faithfulness.
