What
happens when we are put on hold or held up in line? A weekly review of our New Year’s resolutions
we made last January? A trip down memory
lane as we listen to Christmas music in snarled traffic? A practice session on an imaginary piano, or
a shopping spree on the web? Waiting
patiently on hold yesterday morning, I carried my mobile office phone outside
for fresh air and a picture of the rising sun as it emerged from the clouds. My old iPhone amazes me with multi-tasking. The other day I kept working on a desktop computer throughout a 40-minute hold to save $30 on two 72-hour emergency-prep kits from
MPS as advertised by Glenn on radio. (Whew!!)
What
do we put on hold for a season of giving? After enduring three songs
repeated for 40 minutes, I put my PC work on hold for tempting offers as she tried to upsell
me beyond my $20 limit. It was well
worth it – I will have two gifts to place under the tree next week … without
putting my budget on hold
(“I prefer not to.”)
One thing for sure, we can’t put on hold the count-down of days till Christmas.
Let us put off personal grudges and impatience for this season, while giving the time-on-hold to those whom we love – a gift to our Savior Jesus Christ, whose birth we celebrate. For “He Is the Gift" … – Christmas.mormon.org
