The
Sacrifices We Make at Christmas
We
have a Christmas tree in our bedroom.
First time ever for that. It is
last year’s tree, artificial, 4 ft. tall. We like it.
The lights are colorful and it is a pretty little 'thang'.
Carolyn
can’t sleep at night if we leave the lights on on that tree. I like them on. What a dilemma. So, I’m the noble one and I make the
sacrifice.
Now
this is silly. It’s not really a
sacrifice. I love her too much to allow
this smallness to interfere.
And
we’re not letting any other situations crop up to disrupt this season.
We
don’t fight over dark or light meat.
We
don’t fight over red lights or blue lights.
We
don’t fight over which music to play.
We
don’t fight over ANYTHING.
Really,
we sacrifice preferences for peace and joy, sharing and caring, fun and
laughter.
What
sacrifices are you making?
Something to
think on,
in less than
60 seconds.
