Christmas at the Post Office
I just visited our closest Post Office to pick up some stamps. Yikes! The line was going out the door. Most days I would go on the next errand on the list. But I knew it had to be done. I thought maybe I could keep it quick since I was going to use the self check out machine.
I patiently got in line and tried to make small talk with the lady who walked in shortly after I did. She was not too pleasant, stating she simply wanted to weigh her envelop and she continued on complaining until thankfully a postal worker who was floating through the line asked if she could help. The couple in front of me was arguing as they weighed and prepared their Christmas packages. Throughout the other lines were a mix of agitated people and others trying to distract themselves with their phones.
It would be easy to point out how people are missing the point of Christmas, etc. In the midst of this line, I heard a familiar voice. A friend was mid way up the line changing the vibe for those around him. Instead of joining in on the complaining or ignoring it all together he was laughing and joking.
As followers of Christ, we are often labeled judgmental. This season let’s be know for our joy! After all, God is with us.
