They’re everywhere you look: TV, Walmart, Target, and even Aldi’s. Men and women, boys and girls, and even dogs and horses can be found wearing a Snuggie. I myself couldn’t escape Christmas morning without owning one. Really, what can compare to being wrapped in a Snuggie on a cold winter, snowy day?
Ever misplace yours, or find somebody else enjoying it? It doesn’t seem like a big deal, and yet we can become so oddly frustrated by somebody else enjoying it. We become quite possessive of what is “ours.” Don’t we?
Comfortable and cozy are we; not only in our Snuggie, but in our routines, circle of friends, and even our church and youth groups. As a group, we are certainly being stretched in this area – sharing our space, our leaders, our stuff. And yet, this is essentially what we are called to do.
Eventually, everything that we grab a hold of will someday pass through our hands.
There is a time to be comfortable, and a time to step out or share that comfort. There’s a time to receive, and a time to give. A time to be embraced, and a time to embrace others. So, try not to get too comfortable or attached to that Snuggie, prized possession, or even your church or youth group. Why not share it?
