Yeah, I'm a bit behind this year. No--more than a BIT behind. I feel like I've been living in a cave. Driving out and seeing all the Christmas lights twinkling from the houses is just freaking me out.
After all, I'm Mrs. Santa. No me--no tree. Or anything under the tree, for that matter.
Okay, I did get my Christmas tree up on the designated day after Thanksgiving because my grands were ALL OVER that. But we didn't get the rest of the decorations out until a couple of days ago, and I fudged and only took out part of them.
Part of it might be that my hubby and I made the difficult decision not to sing in the choir this year so we can get back on our feet physically. Usually around this time of year we're usually inundated practicing Christmas music. I really miss that.
I did manage to do a little online shopping, but everything is in boxes at the moment. Wrapping is still somewhere on my (very long) agenda.
I thank God for Sundays, when I can rest and seek God with NOTHING else on my agenda. Advent is a wonderful reminder of where my focus really should be--that our Lord came to earth to save us and will return to bring us to glory.
Lord, help me prepare my heart for You. The rest of it will get done.
