My New Blog

You know with all the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season, we often forget what the season is truly about. It is about giving, as God showed us by example, giving us His Son. It should be an example for us to follow.

I recently got an email from my father in law saying that he was in line at the grocery store the other day, and his credit card would not work and that a lady in line behind him came up and paid cash for his groceries. In his email he stated that he could not believe it and what a blessing it was for someone to actually do such an act of kindness.

Recently my daughter had an American Girl doll that she was selling on ebay, it was worth about $140.00. A lady emailed her directly and asked if she would sell it to her directly at a reduced price. Her daughter was in the hospital with cancer and she wanted to give it to her for Christmas, but did not have all the money for it. To make a long story short, she gave her the doll. It was more than I could contain, a 14 year old giving away her prized possessions. Every time I think about it, it brings joy to my heart. As they say it truly is more blessed to give than receive.

This Christmas take an opportunity to look for someone that you too can be a blessing to. Better yet let us all beaware of ways all year long that we can be a blessing to others. I wish you a very Merry Christ...mas
