Can you believe there are only 3 days left until Christmas!?
This season is joyful for some, but for others it can be quite painful. Do not forget to look around and reach out to those who could be hurting (even if you are hurting as well). Here are just a few examples, but I am sure there are many more you can see when you just start looking.
- Those who are away from family and alone this Christmas.
- Those who have lost a loved one this year and this will be the first Christmas without them.
- Those who have family serving abroad.
- Those who are struggling due to economic hardships.
- Those having to work on Christmas day.
The greatest Christmas gift was given by Jesus. It was His presence. You can give that as well. Invite them to your home or to your small group Christmas party. Give them a smile, a hug, a genuine "Merry Christmas". It is the best gift you could give all season.
