Busy...

So from the looks of things (malls, Wal-Marts, Interstates, and major intersections) I'm not that only one who's busy. This time of year is so very special, so full of joy, and stress. This is the only time of the year where, within one month's time, we plan and attend multiple parties, take family pictures and send them to every person we've ever met, completely redecorate our homes (inside & out), and if that wasn't enough...we take our kids out of school for a few weeks just to add to the craziness.

I don't know about you...but I've got pretty much all my shopping left to do...I've still got 9 days. While we search and drive from store to store looking for that perfect gift...there are so many people that we pass who have yet to experience God's gifts at Christmas. Yesterday at Lifepoint we talked in great detail about "God's Gift Exchange." We learned how important it is and how blessed we are to be able to give God our worry, hurt, and grief...and in return He gives us His peace, healing, and joy. And while many of us have crossed that line of faith, accepting Christ as our savior, there are yet so many busy people who don't yet know about God's wonderful gift exchange.

I want to challenge you, regardless of what church you attend, to be mindful and eager to share with others the gifts that God has given you. Easter and Christmas are two of the easiest times of the year to invite someone to church. Don't let yourself get to busy, don't miss opportunities to invite those you know and care about...their lives could be forever changed!

Hope to see you Sunday.
