SABRINA
Most of us are already reeling from our holiday “to do list, Hebrews 13:16 reminds us, “Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.” The celebration of the birth of God’s most precious gift to humankind is the perfect time for putting this verse into practice. If you have five school programs or parties to go to, take it as an opportunity to invite someone who lives alone to attend with you and revisit Christmas through the eyes of a child. As you are digging through boxes of decorations, what about the elderly neighbor or friend who no longer decorates? Offer a wreath or table decoration to brighten their home. Would it take that long to offer to help to address a few Christmas cards for someone who has difficulty seeing? We know of the many charities asking for donations, but we ALL know of that person on the fringes who is struggling. An anonymous gift card, or maybe just the luxury of lunch could bring unsuspected joy during a difficult season. Remember, the holidays are an excuse to make someone else’s life better.
