SABRINA

December is here with all the joys of Christmas.  But what is the REAL meaning of Christmas? Is it gifts under a tree, Christmas lights, cards in the mail, dinners with family and friends, shouts of Merry Christmas to those who pass us in the streets? Is this really Christmas?

For many people, Christmas is a time of sorrow.  They don't have extra money to buy gifts for their children, family, and friends.  Many are sad because of loved ones who will not be with them. Turkey dinners may be a wish and not reality. Yet Christmas is still a season of great joy. It can be a time of healing and renewed strength. Christmas is when we celebrate the birth of the Christ child. God sent His Son, Jesus, to be born in a world desperate for hope.

Go today knowing if you are desperate, there is a God who loves you so He gave His only Son for you. If you are blessed, take today as an opportunity to be the hands and feet of the Christ Child to someone in need.  And remember, we are each blessed by the birth of a tiny baby boy over 2000 years ago.
