I love Christmas. What I do not love is how commercialized it has become. I think it's great that we can exchange gifts with one another but my question has always been : who are we really celebrating ? Jesus or ourselves ? And while we do this we are surrounded by people who are hurting ; ones who have never known the love of a person let alone the unrelenting love of an eternal God. It just makes me wonder. Anyway, this is not a criticism of anyone at all, so please do not get offended at me.
I was sitting here this evening thinking of practical things I can do this Christmas to help someone OTHER THAN myself and I came up with this list. I may not get to do all these things but I pray that by the grace of God I will be able to at least do two or three of them.
I hope it triggers some ideas for you as well.
