The Day After

So it's the day after Christmas. The anticipation and excitement have now passed. All of the presents have been handed out and unwrapped. We have eaten our family dinners, snacked on all of the goodies, spent time with family, stressed out or not stressed at out. We have sang and listened to Christmas music.We have celebrated and rejoiced about the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Now what? Time to relax, right? Time to take a break. All of the gift buying, cooking, baking, cleaning up is over and now all we have to do is to turn our thoughts to, "when are those decorations coming down?". But we can give that a few days or a week or more.

It's time to breath a sigh of relief, relax, the work is done.Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.

Luke 2: 16-20  ¹⁶ They(the shepherds) hurried off and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby who was lying in the feeding trough. ¹⁷ After seeing them, they reported the message they were told about this child, ¹⁸ and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. ¹⁹ But Mary was treasuring up all these things in her heart and meditating on them. ²⁰ The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God  for all they had seen and heard, just as they had been told."


How can we continue to show and tell our families and friends, by "glorifying and praising God for all that we have seen and heard."? Our work is not yet done.:)
