I thanked God for the work of Christ in my life, humbled by the reminder that Christ was the greatest servant of humanity, despite his power and righteousness, despite his impeccable holiness compared to our mean, flawed attempts to live right. Christ's love and complete lack of bitter irony remind me that if he, who was God, would not disparage others, why should I walk into anything with snide comments?
I could mock American commercialism to death here, but instead, I will enjoy the experience.
