Unless you are different from most, you are now "enjoying" the "After Christmas Syndrome." Actually, it is a "bitter-sweet" syndrome in that on the one hand, you are so glad the rush is over, but on the other, you, well, you feel depressed--an unexplainable depression.
Whatever you do, please do NOT lose heart, as this "depression" will pass, much like seasonal allergies. Before you know it, you will be busy setting goals for the New Year and eagerly anticipating their fulfillment. Who knows all that God has prepared for those who love Him?
Try to let the past be the past and press on toward the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Look forward to spending more time with Him, to being an avid student of His Word, to fellowshipping with other believers, and to giving away more and more of your life.
See the next several days as being days of transition, as you leave 2006 and prepare to meet 2007 with gusto!
My entire family is gathering at my youngest brother's house in Warner Robins today, where we will eat Sonny's barbeque and laugh and tell stories and share pictures and who knows what else. Thankfully, we have managed to continue to be very close to each other, even after all of these years. (see if you can find me in the 1958 picture)
Blessings to you,
Your Pastor
