EXCUSES
Today's reading: Song of Solomon 5-6

"But I said, I have taken off my robe. Should I get dressed again? I have washed my feet. Should I get them soiled?" Song of Solomon 5:3 NLT

While you may not believe it, this is the perfect time of the year to pause and reflect.

As you look into the manger scene, consider what you have done for Jesus this past year.

As you catch glimpses of the twinkling lights of Christmas, think about how you might have been, or need to be, more of a light for Christ.

As you wrap and unwrap gifts, ponder the enormity of the gift God gave you in His son.

As you gather with friends and family, look for opportunities to share the love of Christ.

Don't allow excuses to rob you of this precious time.

Don't trade the busyness of the season for the business of your walk with the Lord. 

Don't crowd Jesus out of Christmas by spending more thought on a plump fella wearing a red suit.

Don't disregard God appointments for the hustle and bustle.
