As musicians, Husband and I are used to being super busy this time of year. We hold our breath and wish each other luck and know that we'll see each other on the other side...in January. But I've never had a year so jam packed. Enter Baby. Yeah, that seems like a good idea - let's throw a baby into that madness and see what happens! Oh wow! They go crazy!
Anyway, as I look at my calendar this year, I begin to panic. But these fitting words came to mind:
God rest ye merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember, Christ, our Saviour
Was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
I've been reminded by the Holy Spirit that this season is not about getting to all the gigs on time or having all my Christmas cards out or shopping done...or heck, even dinner on the table. It's about not letting it all get in the way of remembering that we were found when we were lost. We were saved when we had no hope. "Let nothing you dismay...O tidings of comfort and joy!"
Whatever you face this season, let's remember that we now have hope, comfort, and joy in Christ, Who came in the form of a human baby to rescue us from darkness. What comfort! What joy!
