Wondering, Wandering, and Writing

Wash the clothes.
Clean the shoes.
Uh oh, first find the shoes.
Matching hair bows for the girls, ties for the boys.
Prepare the gifts.
Dye the eggs (maybe not at $4.50 a dozen).
Fill the plastic eggs.
Read THIS devotional every day.
No, LISTEN to this one every day.
Devil the eggs.
Bake the cookies.
Prepare the message.
Mow the grass (or not because there’s an egg hunt).
Rehearse the music.
Get to bed early because sunrise service is early. (Are you kidding?!)

Meals?!  What? I gotta feed the kids, too?!

And clean the spills on the floor?

Holidays are fun and crazy and stressful.

It is OKAY if some things don’t get done.

Breathe.
Hug some kids (yours or someone else’s).
Breathe.
Feel the grass beneath your bare feet.
Breathe.
Check in with a friend.
Breathe.

In the midst of the chaotic activity, remember to connect with the Creator.

“[God] breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul.” 
    – Genesis 2:7 KJV
