It’s easy to lose track of all that’s going on with a busy schedule. Between shopping and activities, you’re just in a big mess. But let’s make it the wonderful mess!
During the busy time of the year, holidays or normal life, I find that we are wrapped up in all of our “stuff”.

Some of that “stuff” is great. But sometimes, we have those moments where the “stuff” is a bigger mess than we care to admit.
What’s wrong with us?
As I was shopping all day yesterday, with the exception of when we went to church, I was amazed how people were shopping for the perfect gift, but their attitude was a mess.
My son told me how surprised he was to see the grumpy people. And when we said, “Merry Christmas”, they looked at you like we were weird.
They were living in their mess. And fine with it.
Yet we all have messes. Some worse than others. But a mess is a mess!
The thing is… there can be better messes. That’s when you include Christ.
My son was telling me about the Xmas party. And I quickly said, “The Christmas party?!”
He was like “Nope! It’s called the Xmas party!” Well understand that he’s always been raised with us calling Christmas, Christmas. We never shorten it. So therefore, he never knew or heard of Xmas.
I explained to him how the “X” is crossing out Christ in Christmas. And without Christ, there would be no Christmas.
For those who don’t believe, they are using it as excuses to go shopping and buy things. But Christ makes Christmas.
The world is already a mess. But with Jesus coming as a little baby in the flesh, it made it the wonderful mess!
The K.I.S.S. ~ Welcome Jesus in your mess!
REFLECTION: How are you living in your mess?
Are you burying God under all the bows and wrapping paper, high-tech gadgets, and lost of sweet goodness to eat?
Or are you choosing to include Christ in your mess?
“There’s always going to be messes in the moment, in a season, or in a lifetime. But when you welcome Jesus into your mess, it becomes the wonderful mess!”
