Storing Christmas

The rush is finally over. Another Christmas in the bag, so to speak. The Christmas cards will grow yellow in a drawer somewhere. Toys, for both young and old, will break and be discarded. The last crumb of Christmas cookies will be eaten. The gifts that were so needful will become unused. Some will be returned immediately. It's not a negative commentary on Christmas. It's just the way it is.As the lights are turned off, and the tree is discarded, or in some cases put in the garage, and we make our way to the dump with the last of the wrapping paper and boxes, I pray that we can be reminded once again that the Christmas season is about the Saviour, Jesus. Let's not put Him away with the rest of the stuff of Christmas, but remember that He is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8).
