Christmas…
we put a lot of time and energy into the surface elements…
gifts…
decorating…
parties…
dressing just right…
but what about the heart…?
In the midst of Advent… a book came to my attention…
a small book by Timothy Keller…
I’m still reading it… not quite finished… but Wow…!
Every year after Christmas… I long to somehow keep the wonder of the Infinite and Uncontainable… stooping low… to become an embryo… then a Babe laid in hay… in my heart…
This book by Timothy Keller… may just do it…
Now that the hub-bub has subsided…
the new year dawning…
I recommend this read to you…
Not for next Advent…
but for NOW…
a way to begin the new year…
Before the last of the decorations are stored away…
begin this book for a better understanding of our Savior…
and what Christmas truly means…
and why it’s not just a superficial season…
but a life changing event…
for us… for the world…
Keep the wonder in your heart all year…
and perhaps you’ll have more heart…
and less surface… next… Christmas…
