That’s a little line from Sleepless in Seattle when Meg Ryan is listening to the radio. And yes. This is Aaron writing this one. And yes. I like movies like Sleepless in Seattle.
I can’t believe that Christmas is so soon. It seems like it was just January a few months ago. I can’t believe that a year has come and gone so quickly. I know people say that time goes by faster the older you get, and I understand that a bit better now.
But at Christmas, I’d like to think time stops or at least slows down long enough for us to remember what the whole year has been about, to soak in what this season brings, and to look to what lies ahead.
For me, this year, has been one in which I’ve grown quite a bit. I’ve grown in my relationship with Jesus, and as a husband. I’ve learned more about loving my wife (a wonderfully gracious and amazing woman, who encourages me all the time). I’ve also enjoyed new friendships and seen more people change as they grow in Christ.
I guess it’s so easy to be busy right now. But it’s so good to just be still.
Don’t wait until Christmas Day for that moment. It’s just 24 hours long. Find moments along the way now to just enjoy the carols, the lights, the nativity, and the Savior sent of God, born to us as our redeemer.
And of course, drive safe. There’s crazy drivers out there.
