Get ready! Get set! Bloom!
Another symbol of Advent, the “get ready” time leading us to Christmas. How are you doing in your own Get Ready season? Decorations up? Gifts purchased? Cards sent? Meal planned? What am I forgetting? Oh, yes. How about your spiritual preparation? By the way, that’s not an “end of the list” item; It’s the banner headline.
A suggestion: remember that Christmas is a celebration of a memory, but the One whom we celebrate is here in our midst, with us, right now. “I will be with you always, even to the end of the age.” Makes the party even better, I think.
Bloom today! Share the joy of preparation with friends and neighbors. Be sure to invite Jesus to the party.
