Others Can’t Fix You

I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. You shall have no other gods before Me.  Ex. 20:2-3

My Christmas was wonderful–just Neil and me and Facetime with Sarah and family. Of course, Neil got me the most perfect gifts. For those who follow me on Facebook, you know I got a toilet seat and brush–asked for in serious jest and happy to be received.

Still, Christmas time is always hard for me, as it is for many people. For many, now that it’s over a new desolation sets in.

This is often the hardest time because we’ve put our faith in others. And, as always, others have issues and turning to them to fix our own problems never works.

This past Christmas proved it for a lot of us. Arguments broke out, white elephant gifts were exchanged, the ham dried out, Uncle Marvin got drunk and you were left to clean up the Christmas mess.

Worst of all: Everyone left. You’re alone. The excitement’s gone. Anticipation has ended. Nothing remains except for New Year’s and resolutions you’re going to keep this year.

Yep. You will keep them.
