We tend to compartmentalize our lives. Work, that takes place Monday to Friday and often flows into our weekend. Church, that is for Sunday mornings. Fun, that is for Friday and Saturday nights. Holidays on the other hand, are our brief brakes in between the monotonous compartments we carefully divided our lives into. They are times we set aside for family, friends, time away from work, and good food. However, where does God fit in? We are often too quick to say Christmas is about the birth of the Messiah or Easter is about the resurrection of Jesus, but how much time do we really spend in worship? We get on our knees ready to shred open our presents but do we get on our knees to pray? We run to our seat at the table to feast, but how much time do we sit meditating on God? We are quick to empty our Easter eggs of all their candy, but do we share the events of the empty tomb with others? We commemorate the lives of many great dead leaders, former Presidents, Martin Luther King Jr., and many others, but when did we last take an entire day to honor the life of our living savior? The remaining question is how we will spend our next holiday and what role will we allow God to have in it?
