Last Minute

A lot of people are going to be scrambling around today, trying to get presents and make ready for guests.  Christmas is just a couple of days from now and time is running out.  But why are we running around, doing things at the last minute?  Jesus isn't really going to be born on Monday evening.  He isn't coming.   He's already been and gone and, our faith tells us, coming again at a time of his own choosing.  Our deadlines really don't matter to God, the Holy Spirit takes no note of them.

I won't tell you to sit back and be quiet today (though you should), but I would ask you to remember that Jesus loves you even if that card arrives late or you don't have all of the gifts you wanted.  There's always Christmas 2019 ...
