Oops! Just when I thought Christmas 2013 was a wrap, I see something that was left out.
There it stood in plain sight: my Charlie Brown Christmas Tree. How could it have been overlooked? That’s an ironic thought when you put it in the context of the story itself. The rest of the gang was thinking quite the contrary, how could it not be overlooked.
Yet, like Charlie Brown Christmas, we both had it in our possession.
It’s a quiet reminder that though the day we choose to celebrate Christ’s birth has come and gone for another year, the reason it’s a joyous occasion at all needs to visited-in our hearts and homes-every day.
Although I have to put away Charlie Brown Christmas tree for now, I’ll continue to celebrate Jesus’ birthday.
I’ll choose to remember that He came as that babe in Bethlehem with a purpose. He was born to die… and to live again.
Easter is just 106 days away!
