Can I Stop Now? (Plus a Prayer)

I’ve just had four hours, punctuated by a cigar break, of ay-yi-yi.

*Take down our Christmas tree, two hours. I’m sure it didn’t used to take so long; but we have a lot of ornaments, family heirlooms going back for many years, gotta be careful with them.

*Cigar break. It’s survival, dude.

*Bring in the recycling bins.

*We need to use our cars tomorrow, so I had to clear all the ice off the windshields, headlights, etc. That was another hour.

*Take the rather large and heavy Christmas tree out to the curb. (I’ll miss it.) Did I once have more energy than this? Anyway, it’s all done and I can’t do any more.

O Lord! thank you for this Christmas season, bless it, and give it power to work within us, for us, and for our country all year round to the next Christmas. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

  1. I know very well how difficult it is to do even a fraction of what I want to do and I wear out before I get halfway through. uggg
