Happy Christmas Dear Reader,
I have written about the fullness of time before so, I will
summarize the foundation briefly. I view
time as flowing through an hourglass. It
is a finite thing. There is a point at
which the Father began time and there will be a point at which it ends. Time is divided by the Advent of Christ.
The time flows from the top half of the glass and the bottom
becomes full at the birth of Jesus. The
fullness of time is the inversion of the hourglass and time begins to flow back
to its ultimate end. Please do not think
I have gone mad quite yet. This is the
metaphor that I use to understand my thinking about time.
The point is that time is finite. We all have a limited supply of it and the
world will eventually run out of it. We can
only use it. We cannot create it or bank
it. It is required of us that we redeem
it. This all is at the core of carrying
Christmas in our hearts throughout the year.
Time moves steadily, always into the future. We choose what we will carry into each moment. We decide how we will mark each second of
life with how we treat others, our attitudes, and our thoughts. All of this leads to the need to be kind and
loving toward others. It teaches us not
to waste time with petty squabbles, bitterness, and anger. It reminds us that we leave behind marks of
how we used time and how we treated others.
The journey is marked by time. Making the love the primary currency we used
to spend it is what can get us home with the greatest joy. Time is fleeting and there are promises embedded
in that time. We are able to use if to
make the lives of others richer just by being good to them. It is a choice. It is our purpose. It is time for us to fulfill the fullness
with love for the Father and for each other.
Shall we get to it, Dear Reader?
Wishing you joy in the journey,
