Recovering from a cold which had me out of action for four days, still have a full day's worth of stuff to do and get before Christmas tomorrow, and we're driving to my folks' place in the mountains starting, hm, 21 minutes ago if we stick to the plan. But after that cold, just being able to eat feels like a privilege. And while the Christ did not overthrow all the powers of the world and immediately set up a paradise on earth--which is what they expected of the Messiah, 2000 years ago--He did manifest the extent to which God loves us and is willing to sacrifice for us.
Lord, help us always to enjoy that which you have actually given us, and not to fret about what we had planned differently.
Godspeed, safe travels, merry Christmas.
