Last year on Christmas morning I woke up and had a cup of coffee with Jesus. This year I got up kinda down ... Impacted by the loss of friends this year and the news just last night of another. So I go to the kitchen and make a cup of coffee looking for Jesus ... Just like last year ... But no Jesus. Rats! So I get my cup of coffee, think about Christmas dinner with the kids , realize that it is a long time until.then and decide to make a pot of chile. Then I realize I left the onions in the truck so off I go to get the onions. As I grumpily open the door to retrieve the forgotten onions I see a glorious day before me. Wow ... What a welcome sight after days and days of grey gloom. Once back with the onions I decide to sit down to another cup of coffee and wonder about this Christmas and last Christmas. Where is Jesus? As I sit and wonder I begin to feel that I am not alone ... But I am alone ... What is this feeling? As my mind tries to solves this seemingly unsolvable mystery I look to my left and see Jesus finishing a cup of coffee. Some what startled and at a loss for words all I managed to say is where have you been? He smiled and said I have been here all along. I let you sleep in, watched you make coffee, fret about the fact that you have hours to kill before seeing your children, be sad about the loss of your friends and get annoyed that you left the onions in the truck. So I gave you a bright sunny day to lift your spirits and waited for your return. It is good timing too as I am out of coffee. So I refilled his cup as he has refilled mine so many times and smiled as I remembered that he is with me always ... Even when I do not see him. Then I learn that the news about the loss of my friend was not true ... but a mistake. Think I shall return to my Christmas morning coffee with Jesus. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERY ONE!
