The Day After Christmas

Is it just me, or is there a post-Christmas "let down"? Maybe its because deep down we known the shinny toys and cool gadgets (my new netbook included) won't last. Maybe its because we too quickly realized these things didn't actually satisfy what we were longing for. And our friends and relations? While it was nice to see them, they're either gone or packing and we're left asking "Is this it?"

Maybe, just maybe, God has given us each this "let down" feeling to point us to something more. Maybe, just maybe, Christmas is a true appetizer, a small taste of something good to increase our hunger and anticipation for something even better. Maybe, just maybe, what we need on the day after Christmas is not a new diet or credit councilors, but rather a renewed, refocused relationship with the God who loves us and sent His Son to redeem us.

To God Alone Be the Glory
