Anticipation Is Making Me Wait...

Remember that song? Remember the Heinz Catsup commercial. What a combo!

I think that about Christmas as well. The anticipation is as much fun as the actual day of opening presents. I suppose that is true for many things.

Yes - I know it's Jesus' birthday. For goodness sakes, I've been teaching about that. I get it.

But, sometimes, it's so fun to see the sparkle in our kids' eyes as they look at that tree with presents underneath... with THEIR name on it. They pick it up... show it to us as if we don't know what's in it... trying to guess what's under that wrapping.

Ahhh yes... it's the ANTICIPATION that's as exciting as the actual unveiling.

Best news about Christmas... we can ANTICIPATE what God is going to do in our lives... EVERY DAY! Wouldn't it be great if we looked at God in the same way we look at Christmas... from the ANTICIPATION standpoint? Wondering what He's going to do in our life next...

I think that would make every day a great day! Give it a shot.
