Harried Preparations For Christmas
Ginny & I have been eating our emergency supplies all last week.
No. There’s not a hurricane. It’s just that nothing remains in our refrigerator except a pack of fish sticks and we have not been able to go grocery shopping.
You see, it’s only eight days till Christmas and I still have a few things to do:
- I need to buy antifreeze, drain the car radiator and re-fill it.
- Jennifer has a birthday next week.
- Eve has a birthday next week.
- I expect the church lady to call asking me to serve soup at the mission.
- I need to clean my neighbor’s yard thoroughly because they’re hosting a family get together.
- We have a closet full of presents to wrap.
- Breakfast with Wes Tuesday?
- Breakfast with Barbara Wednesday?
- I’d like to get out to the cemetery and tend my parents’ graves.
- Patty is coming home from college.
- Luminary Night is Sunday.
- I’d planed to have the current book manuscript ready to publish but I’m not finished formatting and editing.
- I have to cut my hair before someone shoots me thinking he’s bagged a Yetti.
So, let’s see the first thing I have to do is…..“Be still and know that I am God.”
O Sure.
I’ll add that to my list somewhere.

Oh goodness but you are busy. I have to go take a nap now after reading that. Good luck in getting it done!
Nothin' to it but to do it. May God give you energy and motivation.
Thanks--as usual, I needed to hear that, too.
I know this feeling all too well. All I can suggest is the usual - 'prioritise!', and 'one thing at a time'.
So, fish sticks for dinner, then?!
Good luck with getting through your list.
You can come over here and have Green Chile Stew with us next week. Don't forget to add that to your list.
I had a dream that I met you in person last week!
