Our Christmas tree has been up since the day after Thanksgiving, but we haven't put the ornaments on yet. My energy level has been so low that I haven't wanted to bring the decorations down from the attic.
It was my turn to lead children's church this past Sunday morning. As Lew and I were preparing to leave for church, I told him I needed to go up in the attic to find the Baby Jesus from our crèche set. I wanted it for my lesson.
I knew the Baby Jesus would be in one of three bins. I found it in the fourth bin I looked in (don't ask). But something special happened while I was looking for the Baby Jesus. I started to feel more energetic. I was healthy. I became excited about the Advent season. I wanted to decorate and celebrate the coming of The Lord Jesus Christ!
I still haven't brought the Christmas bins downstairs because I've had outside errands yesterday and today. But tomorrow....
Smile!
(PostScript: I am even making dinner for Lew tonight! Stew in the crockpot.)
