Run the race, don’t just watch from the sidelines.

I love Christmas decoration. There is something festive and special about them. They make their surrounding feel magical . Today sadly was Christmas decoration removal day. I don’t like this day. Why? Everything goes back to the way it was. I get this thought every year when we put decorations away,” it’s a shame we only use these once a year”. I feel the same way about the “good China”, and about the “decorative towels”. I am so happy I was NOT created to be used only on “SPECIAL” occasions. How horrible would life be if we were packed up and locked away for 11 months out of the year, brought out of exile for one month, then packed up again. Today as I was putting away the ornaments I realized how blessed I am. I can be used, everyday. Just like Christmas decoration I was created for a specific purpose (I believe we all are), but until my purpose is achieved, I don’t have to be put away like ornaments, cutlery or linen. I can go forth, work, build, grow, and move.  We are not meant to be packed away, so don’t sit still… Run your race.

So what’s my plan of attack? Work while I wait. Avoiding shelves and storage areas 😉 .
