Have Childlike Anticipation…

Today’s post is a slight deviation from the “Be Inspired” topic due to the upcoming holidays. In less than two weeks it will be Christmas. Wow, the time has been flying!

Do you remember as a child how excited you were for Christmas? The lights, the tree, the candy, the cookies, the music, the TV shows, the traditions, and I could go on, and on, and on…

But it was thoughts about the gifts that had my anticipation level off the charts! For us, there would always be the one grand gift, the “special” one. The one I really, really, hoped to get. On Christmas Eve, my mind would be whirling about the possibilities of what it would be. I thought I would never fall asleep, but somehow I did.

Finally, Christmas morning arrived and that first glimpse of those beautifully wrapped gifts would bring awe and wonder. Then, a flurry of excitement, joy, and laughter would burst out while the gifts were opened.    An author (unknown) said, “When you stop opening presents and listen, love is what’s in the room with you at Christmas.” Christmas is love. It’s what God gave us that day so long ago.

For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” – John 3:16 (NLT).

Jesus is the “grand” and special gift who we have access to every day. He is the gift that will never disappoint. We should live in such a way that those childlike feelings of anticipation during Christmas, becomes our daily expectation of experiencing God.

I pray that your heart is open to receive the gift of God’s love, His son Jesus Christ. So that you know God, rely on and love Him, and be willing to touch the lives of others through Him.

The final thought I leave you is a quote by Laura Ingalls Wilder (author):

Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time.

I encourage you to be that child again not just Christmas-time but all the time!

Thank you for your time and Merry Christmas! Be Blessed… LR Maddox

  1. The memories of my childhood Christmas always brings joy to my heart, my family didn’t have much but my mom always seems to find a way to make all our Christmas’s fantastic. She never loses sight that Jesus was the true meaning of Christmas and always made sure we didn’t either.

  4. Have you ever encountered a situation where your credit report unexpectedly “declares” you dead? Encountering an erroneous death marker in your TransUnion credit report can be a significant ordeal for anyone. This mistake not only creates a sense of anxiety and stress but can also have long-term consequences for your financial life, affecting your ability to obtain loans, insurance, and even employment.

    Grasping the Severity of the Situation
    The erroneous listing of you as deceased in TransUnion’s databases is not just a small oversight. It’s a mistake that can block your access to the most critical financial tools and services. It’s crucial to realize that behind this “digital” problem lie real-life inconveniences and obstacles, such as issues with the social security administration death index and wrongful denial of coverage.

    Statistical Overview
    Let’s consider some statistics that illustrate the prevalence of the problem. For instance, credit bureau reports deceased and social security administration death notification errors occur frequently. Experian death notification and Equifax death notice errors are also common.

    These figures underscore the importance of timely detecting and correcting such errors. If you find your credit report says I am deceased or your credit report shows deceased, immediate action is required.
