We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be
done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through
the rooms of our lives... not looking for flaws, but for potential.

Christmas Gift Revelation
In his book "Dare to Believe", Dan Baumann illustrates the unique
experience of knowing that something is ours, yet longing to enjoy
it more fully. He explained that at Christmas time he would always
do a lot of snooping, trying to find the gift-wrapped presents and
figure out what was in them.
One year he discovered a package with his name on it that was easy
to identify. There was no way to disguise the golf clubs inside.
Baumann then made this observation: "When Mom wasn't around, I
would go and feel the package, shake it, and pretend that I was on
the golf course. The point is, I was already enjoying the pleasures of
a future event; namely, the unveiling. It had my name on it. I knew
what it was." But only "Christmas would reveal it in its fullness."
The glories that await us defy our comprehension or imagination.
What we can grasp about them, however, fills us with an incredible
sense of anticipation and joy. We look to that day of unveiling
when we shall enjoy heaven in all its fullness. Our names are
already in the book.
