Day 354 – Day Off

Our second to last day off of the year, and Christmas is well and truly on its way. School’s out, the Christmas songs are on the radio. This year will be a very different one to many, of course, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that a very special day is coming soon, which we can rightly celebrate.

I know well enough now that holidays doesn’t always mean extra time to read! But do try not to push the readings too far out of the way. Even, dare I say it, on Christmas Day itself! Give yourself time with them. The readings this week are hard. Revelations is hard. The stark reality of death outside of Christ is hard.

Come to your readings this week with a prayer that the words you read will challenge you with the seriousness of the Bible’s warnings, but never forget the great news is the gospel message either.

And tomorrow… Well, tomorrow we’ll start our ten day countdown. Who’s going to finish on time?!
