Got Your Holiday Script Ready?

Think about it.
Where will you be?
Who will you see?
What will you say?
What will you do?
What will they say?
What will they do?
How will it taste?

Can you just picture that perfect holiday in your mind? The glow, the smells, the words, the laughter, the music, the tastes, the games? It’s easy to assume that everyone’s script is just the same as yours—after all, you’re thinking about the perfect day. Surely if it’s perfect for you, it’s perfect for everyone.

You’ve done this before, haven’t you? How has that worked in the past? Does it ever happen exactly the way you want? Are the supporting characters aware of the need for your script to get played out? Or are all of your supporting characters trying to be the star of a script of their own?

This Thanksgiving and Christmas—will you lay down your script? Will you ask others what is important to them? Will you have a higher perspective? Are you willing to participate and cooperate with God at every event? Will you watch and listen for divine appointments? Are you willing to serve?

“For you have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.” Galatians 5:1
