Christmas Eve for a child, young and sometimes old, is filled with anticipation.
Anticipation being that waiting period before something exciting happens. In this case, celebrations unfold and hearts are filled with the expecting of what’s to come. While researching for this post, I ran across the amazing blog below by Jeff Goins.
Jeff is one of the great writing talents in the United States today and worth your time if you appreciate this type of work. I believe you will find his words full of wisdom on this topic of waiting. I for sure learned some new concepts that help me to frame up this amazing season in a way that is deeper and richer.
“After years of learning important lessons about life, I now realize that the magic of Christmas was never about the day. It was always about the waiting.” – Jeff Goins See full post here.
Ultimately, the primary point is how great it is that the birth of Jesus was just the beginning, the anticipation of what is to come! His birth merely started the story of what was to come.
I pray today that your hearts will be filled with the anticipation of what God will do in your lives and those of your family and friends during the next year. Have the merriest of days and embrace the moments. You all are a gift to me personally and I am forever grateful.
