Can you believe how quickly the Holiday season changes? The second Thanksgiving is over, a title wave comes called… Christmas. The trees are up, wreaths are hung, coffee shops new flavors are simmering, stores are crazy. Wow. You would think that with all of that instant changeover, the lingering emotions of thankfulness would find their way through as well. But rather, we label “the next day” (after thanksgiving) as BLACK FRIDAY titled for the early bird, caffeine crazed, warrior mode woman hitting the shopping courageously checking off their own buy lists. Not that you need it from me, but let me take a second to give you the permission to maintain a spirit that you have always craved. Sit back and rest a little, savoring Jesus and the Rescue he did unto us. Let this steam into a sentiment of thankfulness and reflective worship. The “Christmas Spirit” doesn’t begin the 24th… it has begun now. So take a moment to reflect on the person you were, want to be, and will become this Holiday season.

That's cool. I think it's sad that the holidays have become so secular that even we don't put much thought into their real meaning, which is so applicable to us.
