This Christmas...

That song runaway love is so good! Anyways, the Holidays are finally here, and I can't say I'm not happy. There's just something about the Holidays that make everyone so warm, and it just brings this happy feeling to everyone. It's one of the few times that family actually comes around. One of the few times that my parents actually cook a BIG dinner, and, I don't know how to describe it. The Holidays usually just hold some of the happiest memories for some of us. If you're like me, and you're greedy, and you love getting stuff, and will step on anybody to get what you want; then this Christmas, I encourage you to slow down on the wants, focus on the needs, and think of others you could help. God blesses those that bless others. Now don't go out there saying, "Oh, I did this, so I should get this." It don't work that way. Christmas is supposed to be for giving and happiness, and though your Christmas may be happy, remember that there's someone out there not having the best Christmas they could have. There are lots of things you could do to help out someone less fortunate than you. Go to a local soup kitchen and help cook, or donate presents to your local charity, OR if there is a family that you know of that is struggling, then give them a food basket, presents, SOMETHING! Every little bit helps. I know you like to say that it is not your fault that they are in the position, but just imagine how it would feel to know that you helped bring happiness to somebody's life. You don't have to give a lot, but every little bit counts. We are all here to help each other out. So, this season, while you're getting ready to spend money on that toy that your child just "Has to Have" but doesn't need, or that outfit, or those shoes that no one in your family needs, think about the families that need these things, and invest in helping other families this season. Happy Holidays, and remember that JESUS is the reason for the season.
