At some point over the Christmas/Advent period you will have to make at least one major decision; well what will seem like a major decision to you if no one else at least. It might be about how many Christmas cards to write and send, how many party invitations to accept or send out. (my diary is open by the way), how much to spend on presents. Just a few ideas of at least some of the decisions you might face over the next few weeks. Whatever the decision or choice you face the probability is that you might justify at least one of your decisions by saying to yourself, “Well I have to draw the line somewhere!” All of us at some point over the Christmas period will have to draw the line somewhere. Draw the line at how much we eat, how much we drink, how much we spend. So the real question is, not what to do, but where to draw the line and if we get the decision right then everything else falls into place.
Many years ago one of my friends pinned to the church notice board a simple question, which if memory serves me well, he found in a Christian Poetry book by the poet Gorden Bailey. I will finish my blog today with the same question and leave you to consider your response….

Where do you draw the line?

Love the quote, sent it to quite a few friends who also appreciated it.
ReplyDeleteBetween having to lower my cholesterol and being broke, I am drawing a quite conservative line under Christmas plans this year!
