After all the preparation...it's over

Hello Friends,

It's been a family tradition for years to exchange gifts on Christmas day. 2020, While I prepared for the Gift Exchange, I searched for inexpensive and useful gifts when I stumbled upon  Eternal Light Co. , a Christian brand that provides products, services, and an experience that brings glory to GOD.

Fast forward, I ordered 7 tees from their store with lovely faith phrases and didn't unsubscribe from their mailing list. On December 26, 2020 I received an email from the owner of the store. Many on their mailing list definitely would have received it too. Read email below. Think about it and take actions.

Hello ,

This email was not on my schedule, and it's unplanned and unpolished. I'm literally spilling out my personal thoughts as I'm sitting here finishing off a cup of hot chocolate in our living room. (By the way, it looks like a tornado came through here from all the Christmas celebration)

As you probably know, we have a 7 month old girl named Presley which is our first baby, and this is her first Christmas. We spent so much time making sure it would go "perfect". You know... kind of like the picture they paint on those hallmark movies.

 So much time picking out the perfect gifts, decorating the house, planning out the food, wrapping presents, capturing the perfect pictures, scheduling all the family stops..... ehhh it's just stressful thinking about all of it.

 And it's all over within just a few hours.  I got to think about all the things in life we spend so much time preparing for, and it's over just like that.

 I know that this is a subject that is shied away from, but there is one thing in life that we prepare for that isn't like that, and that is where we are going to spend eternity. And there is only two options and that is Heaven and Hell.

 I'm not sending this email to preach at anyone, because I have so many areas in my life that need improvements. This was really just a personal thought and reminder that I decided to share.

 I just want you to remind you that how we live our life and prepare matters. We aren't preparing for something that is going to be over in just a few hours, we are preparing for eternity.

 We will never regret living for Jesus.

 I appreciate you,
