Yesterday evening a friend gave me a ride home after watching a game. Christmas songs were playing on the radio in his car. Christmas lights adorned many houses along the way. My comment was, “Christmas music already. I don’t feel ready for Christmas.”

My comment was not about shopping because that is done quickly thanks to Amazon. My comment was not about decorating because I never decorate for any holiday and in fact I have no decorations in my place but I do have books, lots of books.
My comment was more about how it feels like Christmas snuck up on me, it felt like suddenly it was Christmas time. Mentally I don’t feel ready. But it is here nevertheless, all of that Christmas holiday stuff.
Christmas the day we celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus. Speaking of Jesus, there is something I feel more than ready to have happen. Jesus will return one day but as Lord of all to reign over the earth.
That is something I am ready for. I am ready to have an end to pain and suffering. I am ready because Jesus died for our sins so we can be forgiven by God. I am ready not because of me, but because I received Jesus as my Savior.
So the real question is not so much feel ready but are we ready for Jesus to return?
Thank you for reading. God Bless.
