The Promises of Christmas ~ Eggnog

Happy Christmas Dear Reader,

 It may seem that the only promises in eggnog are more calories.  Another may be that of the spirits in some recipes.  There are, however, promises other than a light head and heavy frame.

There are those who do not like eggnog and I do pity the loss of enjoyment.   They are not wrong but feel they are missing out.  Perhaps they have not had quality eggnog.

This all begs the question of how writing committed to following Christ can find promise in eggnog.  I am sure that are parallels for us all.  Every year I look forward to the appearance of a certain quality eggnog at my local grocer. 

This eggnog is not like any other I have ever tasted.  It comes from Oberweis Dairies.  Present in real glass bottle that show the colour and viscosity of the rich liquid; it brims with promise.  The rich taste and perfect spicing make it a true seasonal favorite for me. 

There are other good eggnogs.  There are also some very bad ones.  Avoid any canned eggnog that need not be refrigerated.  True eggnog takes work and is fleeting in its freshness.  It is the eggnog of promise.

The promise is this: there is sweetness in the season and in the world.  There is richness to remind us of what is to come.  We must not accept lesser things than the best God has to offer.  We must search for the promise that is the sweetness of the Father’s best.  It is always there if we seek it.  It leads us to the very best promise of all; home.

Wishing you joy in the journey,
