Do You Hate Christmas Shopping?

When I am doing my lessons for Sunday School or SHINE, I often come across stories or anecdotes that I can’t use in my upcoming lesson that nevertheless I want to share. 

Here’s one about two men who were next door neighbors and decided to go sailing while their wives went Christmas shopping.  While they were out in the boat, a terrible storm arose.  The sea became very choppy and they had a difficult time keeping the boat under control.  As they steered toward land, they hit a sandbar and the boat grounded.  They both jumped out of the boat and began to push and shove with all their might to get the boat back into the water.  As the waves bounced him against the side of the boat, and his hair was blowing wildly in the wind, one of the men said with a smile on his face, “It sure beats Christmas shopping, doesn’t it?”

This story sums up how I feel about Christmas shopping, but I’ve found the perfect solution:  my wife does it all.  Thanks Jeana!

By the way, my SHINE lesson this week is on the Wise Men.  It features a top 10 list that you don’t want to miss.
