Wow! For yet a second year the holidays slid past me. Last year I was snowed in (hot dogs and chocolate cookies for Christmas dinner!). This year I was "sicked" in, losing my voice altogether on Christmas day and still sounding worse than a croaking frog three weeks into a bad cold and after one week of antibiotics.
Yet, you know, that's okay. If I have learned anything through these non-traditional Christmases, it's that Christmas is about Christ, the reality of His presence in my life. And that doesn't need fancy food and even good health to celebrate.
But I am glad to be on the mend and look forward to the new year with great anticipation.
Our church has asked us to make a commitment to read through the Bible this year. Right away the second verse in Proverbs grabbed my attention: "for attaining wisdom and discipline; for understanding words of insight; for acquiring a disciplined and prudent life, doing what is right and just and fair."
Wow, if there's anything I need this year, it's to acquire more discipline.
So join me on this journey of discovery, as I seek for daily nuggets of guidance for practicing discipline!
Hope your feeling better...there is some nasty virus going around that wants to stay forever. Hard one to kick! Take Care!
