Ready, set, go, its Cyber Monday!!!! Well, I don’t know about you, but cyber deals started flooding my inbox on Thursday last week. So my strategy is to not go on any retail websites. I didn’t go shopping all weekend, not even for Small Business Saturday. Cyber Monday is a non issue for me.
I already got the best deal ever. The deal of a lifetime, the deal for all time.
I have the presence of God. Everyday, all the time, for now and all eternity.
Yes, eventually I will have to shop. And yes, I know retail people have to make a living, too.
But honestly, do we really show our loved ones how much we love them by buying them the cheapest goods on the planet for a holiday that has nothing to do with materialism?
Christmas, really is the best deal ever. God gave up something really precious so we could have His presence with us always. Christmas. Period.
You can have that deal too. Wouldn’t you rather have the promise of eternity in your hearts than a cheesy sweater on your back?
So before you all go clicking with your mouse and whipping out your cash and credit cards, stop and breathe and think for minute.
Give thanks. It’s only December 2nd. There really is more to life than a retail deal. Our loved ones deserve more from us than the hunt for a deal. Maybe they just really want our real presence to show up.
And maybe for the courage to do that, we need to have His presence with us.
