So excited to share another guest post I wrote for Walk Thru the Bible this week. Hope you enjoy.
A little girl sits in front of her family’s Christmas tree, looking at the gifts she unwrapped a few hours ago. Though happy with her new toys, her excitement for the season started waning soon after she opened her last gift.
Fast forward a couple of decades, and that girl, now a mother, sees the same let-down in the face of her own little girl. Although they both know that Christmas is about Jesus, they feel a sense of sadness now that it’s over.
Have you felt it? That sigh, that dream of Christmas that never quite comes true. If only I rush around enough, if only I get that shiny thing I want, if only my family would get along, then Christmas would be perfect this year. And this ache deep inside would go away…
