A couple of weeks ago I was playing with my 2 ½ year old great nephew in the living room
floor. He is kind of a hat fanatic as
long as it isn’t the hat you need him to put on for the cold weather
outside. He likes to put on pans, and
cups, bowls, books and anything else he can balance on his head, which he then
identifies as, “look at my hat”. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that he found great joy in
balancing an empty popcorn can from Walmart on top of his head at just the
right angle to stay long enough for me to capture a precious picture moment. Seriously, we are talking it sat there on
his head all of 2 seconds. But, isn’t it
sweet when the timing of something is perfect and it wasn’t planned. Don’t get me wrong I plan lots of pictures
for the little guy to be in but they don’t work out so well. Ha,ha,ha
OK, so no that isn’t my 2 ½ year old nephew but you get the
idea.
In a few days, Christmas Eve and Christmas day will be upon
many of us. And I suspect lots of
planning has gone in to it for many of us. Trying to figure who is going to be where, when, and what gifts will be
opened at what house. What is meant to
be a joyful, peaceable, and exciting time of celebration and good will towards
man can so easily be lost in the middle of the chaos of it all.
My point: Keep those
hearts, ears, and eyes open because you never know when that perfect timing of
something not planned takes place right in front of you and it is
priceless!
Two thousand years ago, that moment happened not according to man’s
plans but God’s plans. And the amazing
thing is, if you will open your hearts, ears, and eyes you can still experience
the sweetness of the birth of Christ in your own life. It is a priceless moment when that takes
place!
We at Pure Joy International want to wish you and yours a
VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
His,
Vickie
