But with all this extra time I have on my hands now comes responsibility. The responsibility to use my time wisely. With three and a half weeks with no school and, soon, no regular activities, I'll have a lot of free time. There's lots of things I could do. Watch Christmas movies, do some Christmas baking, play Christmas carols, wrap presents, read some classic Christmas novels, and a million other things. But in each and every Christmas activity I take part in this holiday break, my goal is to keep Christ central. Through everything. I will slip, of course, because I am human and I do sin, but whether I'm baking or singing, reading or dancing, I never want my attention to waver from Jesus.
This Christmas season, as we have more time on our hands, let's strive to use our time wisely, in a way that would most glorify God and be most central around Christ!
