Did You Start Soon Enough?

In a busy railroad station, a man was seen running to catch a train already leaving. He failed and a passer-by remarked, “Looks like you didn’t run fast enough!” “I ran fast enough” said the man…”but I just didn’t start running soon enough!”

You may be running fast at Christmas…but did you start soon enough? Christians are reminded in the season of Advent to begin early. It is so easy to get caught up in running, and end up nowhere!

The deeper meaning of Christmas is not in running, but in worshiping…not in spending treasures, but in finding one…not in buying gifts, but in receiving one…the greatest gift of all, the gift of peace, the gift of the Son of God.

When you come to Christmas in that spirit, even if you start late, you can still get there in time!
