Christmas is an extremely busy time, to be sure, but we should get more from it than exhaustion. We have the wonderful opportunity for personal renewal. We can gain a fresh appreciation for the beauty and wonder of the love God revealed in the birth of Jesus Christ. We can broaden our faith and deepen our commitment to the Christ whose presence is as real today as it was on that holy night in Bethlehem.
Buying gifts, choosing a tree, decorating the house, attending holiday gatherings - Christmas is a hectic time. For centuries, people have been challenged to find Christ in the middle of this holiday chaos. However, despite the hustle and bustle, we must remember the true meaning of the Advent season: The birth of a special child that affects the lives of us all in a very direct way. William Harris' meditations prepare us for the birth of Jesus Christ by helping us find Christ in the chaos.
