A Reflection in Advent
The four-week period of advent is drawing to a close. Christmas day will soon be upon us.
In the middle of all the hustle and bustle of preparing the house, buying presents and preparing celebratory and ordinary meals I take time out to reflect on the real meaning of Christmas.
Jesus was born.
Why?
Jesus is a beacon.
Jesus draws us to himself and his ways.
More importantly Jesus is a signpost.
Jesus shows us the way to God.
In this period of advent I take time to reflect on what present I will give this Christmas to the one who is all.
What I will be giving to God.
What will that be?
I have not decided yet.
I still have a few days left to reflect on this.
What about you?
What will you be giving to God this Christmas?
Myself. That is the most and the best I could do because that is all God has given me, nothing more to give back. Do I even have the potential for more than that and even if I have, what all I give back is God's to begin with anyway.
