A bench at the roadside
Isaiah 7:14
Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a Son and shall call him Emmanuel, God with us.
Four days to go, Lord. There is so much to do, so many things to finish. Some things not yet started. Will I ever be ready. It seems an impossible task. No-one else seems to be working as hard as I am. No-one else seems to think there is a problem. I don’t think I can go on much longer.
Four days to go, Lord.
Help me Lord. Help me to stop and take a deep breath. Help me to be aware that you are with me in my busy-ness. Help me to be thankful that I have a reason to be busy. I have things to do as we prepare to celebrate the birth of a very special child. I have people I care enough about to want our celebrations to bring us together in joy.
Help me to remember that, with you behind me, nothing is impossible.
