Are you like me? I flipped the calendar over this morning and gasped when I saw the word “December” staring at me. December means that there’s lots to do…baking, .shopping, wrapping, decorating, card sending, party attending – and we do it all many times over! It’s enough to get stressed over even on this first day of the month.
It’s so easy to get overwhelmed with the busyness of Christmas and miss the opportunities that lie before us at this special time of year. When we’re out doing the running that our tasks require we need to be looking for souls – not just people. People can get in our way, slow us down and frustrate us. However, when we look for souls that need the message of Christ’s sacrifice we are patient and understanding and see this “interruption” as an opportunity to share the Gospel.
Keep your purse full of good Christmas tracts. Hand one to the person that steps in front of you in line at the store. Give one to the Red Cross bell-ringer, the clerk that waits on you, the waitress, someone sitting next to you at the doctor’s office, and the people that receive your Christmas cards. This is a wonderful time of year to witness, and we have so much to witness about! Christmas is an open opportunity to share the Gospel. Determine to share the Gospel as often as the Lord opens the door. Don’t let the busyness distract you!
