There is a LOT to do

For Christmas time

IN FAMILIES=with friends=parties galore

A lot of preparation

 

But with all of that

It is EASY=to lose track

Of what our CHRISTMAS

Is all about

Preparing our hearts=PREPARING

FOR THE LORD=for the coming

Of our dear Jesus

 

“YOU PREPARE a table

Before me==in the presence

Of my enemies”                                                                                                               Psalm 23:5

 

“Therefore this is what

I will do=to you Israel

 

And because I will

Do this to you Israel=

PREPARE to meet your God”                                                                                   Amos 4:12

 

It is just a

FEW DAYS before Christmas

 

And it is TIME

To take check of ourselves

And ask ourselves=A FEW QUESTIONS

 

Am I harried?

Am I short-tempered?

Are we RESENTFUL?

 

Are you more FOCUSED more

On your presents=than

GOD’S PRESENCE?=this Christmas?

 

Make your FINAL PREPARATIONS

Make sure=you are

IN TOUCH=with the SPIRIT of God

This Christmas

 

Be an EXAMPLE=in

Your words and deeds

These last few days of Advent

 

That is HOW you announce

The COMING of the Lord=PREPARING

FOR THE LORD!

In our hearts and minds

 

“For we are=God’s handiwork

Created in Christ Jesus

To do good works

 

Which GOD PREPARED

In advance=for us to do”                                                                                                     Ephesians 2:10

 

“ALWAYS BE PREPARED

To give an answer

To everyone who asks you

 

To give the reason=for the HOPE

That you have”                                                                                                               Ephesians 3:15

 

John PREPARED THE WAY

For the Lord

 

We need to PREPARE OURSELVES=

Our hearts and minds

For the COMING=of Jesus=in

Just a couple of days

PREPARING=FOR THE LORD!

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our ALWAYS PREPARED=Holy Father God!
