Remember the good ol’ days? Remember Christmas vacation?

Stephen Bautista

Of course you do.

There is nothing like that first day of Christmas vacation–no school, a few extra minutes of sleep, the smell of fresh cookies wafting into the room, and a day of endless joy and leisurely preparation before you.

And then you are hit by the real world.

Wake up!

There is no Christmas vacation in the real world. Diapers need changing, mouths need feeding, the d-o-g still wants to go in and out and in and out and thanks you by throwing up in your shoe, the never-ending pile of laundry needs serious maintenance, and your aches and pains did not get the memo that they should take a long walk off a short pier.

What’s a girl to do in this real world?

Rejoice

the sun is a-shining

rejoice

my spirit is flying

rejoice

’cause I have been given

a brand new day

Jesus lives

God’s in control

and it’s good to be alive!

So

Rejoice!
