Render service with enthusiasm, as to the Lord.
A grandmother was reading the Christmas story to her granddaughter. The little girl was just a
toddler and grandmother was reading from the King James version of the Bible. The
granddaughter was baffled by the phrase, "Mary was great with child." Grandmother did her best
to explain. When the little granddaughter finally understood the phrase, she clapped her hands
excitedly and said, "Oh, goody! I hope it's a girl." What children lack in understanding, they
make up for in enthusiasm. What would we do without them?
This season is about a Child and children. Will we follow with enthusiasm?
(Ephesians 6.7
NRSV)
This is an exciting time--particularly for the younger people. As they grow in their understanding
of the true meaning of Christmas, I hope they do not lose the pure, unadulterated joy that
Christmas brings them.
Dear God, help me to have great enthusiasm for this season of welcoming Christ. Amen.
