Clay in the Hands

It is that time of year.  Do you have all your shopping done?  Me either!

In fact, Kristi and I are both off today and are going to try and get all of our shopping done today.  I will have to let you know how that goes.

I am really excited about spending the day with my lovely bride – just the two of us.  But I am not looking forward to shopping.  I am a commando shopper and Kristi is a browser.  I want to get in and get out with just what is on the list – Kristi doesn’t normally take that approach.

At any rate, all of this has caused me to think a bit about Christmas today.  What if we spent the resources; time, energy and money that we use on shopping and making sure we are going to have a Christmas to remember, what if we focused our resources on helping others?

I am not saying we should not celebrate Christmas – I am just asking the question.  Let me know what you think.
