How hard it is for 4 year olds to wait for Christmas. Every day they tell me they will die if they don't get to open their gifts. I would love to have that inpatience about waiting for Christ to come. They get up in the morning thinking about it and go to bed thinking about it. I want that kind of excitment about waiting for Christ's return. Lord, give the the joy and anticipation of a little child. Don't let the business of the season make me not expect your return.
