Surprise surprise, I came to my favorite coffee shop after my morning class. I met a young couple. The husband is originally from New York, then lived two years in China with his dad to experience his dad’s culture. The wife is from Turkmenistan. The husband as I said is from New York, lived in China for two years and ended up in a small city of 9,000 York Nebraska for high school. We laughed about the culture shock he must have felt going from large cities to a small town.
My barista gave me a Christmas themed mug because I told her some Christmas jokes.
I still do not feel ready for the holiday Christmas although my plans for Christmas are set. New Breath the Ukrainian church will have a special Christmas Day worship and fellowship time.
Though I love the reason for Christmas, I have never really looked forward to the holiday. But yesterday gave me a reminder of something I am looking forward to.
I saw a reel of a picture of the throne in heaven with the song Hallelujah. In my spirit, I was filled with a lot of joy and wanted to go to heaven right then and there. The ultimate reason for Christmas is that Jesus came to become our Savior because he wants us with him forever. That is something I looked forward to so much.
Are you looking forward to Christmas? Are you looking forward to eternity with Jesus? Are you ready for that?We become ready by coming to faith in and trusting in Jesus as our Savior.
Thank you for reading. God Bless.
