In two weeks it will all be over. At least that is what they are trying to tell us. Have not figured out who ‘they’ are. No, not Christmas either. Some ancient culture, the Mayans, which ran out of big rocks, made a calendar and could only print a calendar to the size of the biggest rock. It ends Dec 12. 2012. My guess is, they didn’t have paper at the time. Why are we so focused on this so much? Remember Y2K? Maybe we are so fascinated by this prediction because we love adventure of the unknown or unexplained or maybe even have a yearning towards doomsday events?
I have another theory. Life as we know it will be over tomorrow morning. Yes, that early. If you believe as I do that we begin a new day, a new experience, a new phase in life each and every morning when we get up, you will also realize that life is continually filled with new life. It could be compared to a flower. One day there is a bud and the next day a flower. You may have witnessed this in nature but also in children as they grow and mature through the progression of just living each day.
Tomorrow is a new day unlike any day that has gone by us so far. What we make of it depends on what we wish to get out of it. I wrote about that before, about writing on a new page. So, your life and my life as we know it ends each evening.
Here is another thought. Our mundane life will end when we get the Christmas Spirit.  However, you perceive Christmas Spirit to be. Just recently, Nov 1st to be exact,  there was a lot of talk about piped in Christmas music in Shoppers Drug Mart. “Too early” some were saying. They even wrote emails to protest and had it changed. But life will change with every passing day, especially the special ones we celebrate.
In relations to Christmas, I believe that this spirit of Christmas comes, not with lights, decorations or even when Christmas music shows up in our life. I believe it comes when we recognize the reality of someone loving us no matter what or who we are. It’s His birthday! Not ours. But when the love Jesus exhibited in His life and death becomes real in your life, life will change like never before. And even Christmas will have a new reality.
Does life really change each day? Yes. It changes every day you meet with Jesus. And it will change the day you invite Christ into your life. When you receive from God, the gift of forgiveness, you will want to show others the gift you received and then share the love He has shared with you. And you don’t have to wait for Christmas to get it.
Something to think about
