PREPARATIONS
Today's reading: 3 John

I remember when I was expecting Isaiah. I recall preparing a room. Preparing our home. Preparing our lifestyle. Preparing our budget. Preparing our car. Preparing our families. Preparing our hearts.

The excitement. The anticipation. The awe. The wonder. The joy. The dreams. The hopes. The anxiety.

There's another Baby coming that I need to prepare for.

My schedule needs adjusted. My attitude needs adjusted. My mind needs adjusted. My emotions need to be adjusted. Any grudges I have need set aside. Any bitterness I'm harboring needs to be placed out of my reach.

A wonderful Baby is about to arrive, am I as prepared? I've known of His coming. I've been made well aware of my need for Him.

Will I be prepared, heart and mind, when this Child arrives?
