“.
. . and she gave birth to her firstborn, a Son. . . . and placed Him in a
manger, because there was no guest room available for them.” Luke 2:7 NIV
Every year we have to move furniture
around to make room for the Christmas tree.
Things get shoved into a corner and sometimes end up on top of each
other in the walk-in closet. After I put up all the Christmas decorations I am
going to use, I have to temporarily hide the everyday stuff in the same
Christmas storage boxes I just emptied.
We do not have room for all the
Christmas angels my husband collected over the years, and I have to limit the
Hallmark ornaments I want to display.
Wrapping paper, gift boxes, and ribbon
cover every inch of the double bed in our one guest room. No one is allowed in
there, especially the children, because it hides all of the gifts from Santa. Anyone who plans to stay at our house during
Christmas has to find a room at the closest motel.
Our house is full of “stuff.”
Is your house and your life like
mine? Is it full of “Christmas” things leaving
no room for Jesus? If so, maybe it is time to make a change.
Prayer: Dear Lord, come into my heart and fill me
with your Holy Spirit. I promise there will always be room for you there.
