Holidays are Here

It is that time of year again. Do you feel any different? Yes I know that it is cold outside, but it is the Holidays. Aren’t you as excited as I am? We are preparing to eat turkey and stuffing. Yeah some of you might have had vegetables. Now we get to put up the Christmas tree and all the lights to go with this season. I remember as a child I would dream of what it would be like to have a big family who all gathered around the table and the tree together. You know what I mean? Isn’t that the picture that society has told us should take place? Do you happen to know anyone who has the perfect family? I don’t. What I want all of to realize is that there are people this holiday season that is spending it by themselves. Some by choice and others by circumstances. You can probably stop right now, think, now look around you probably have just seen someone I am talking about. We all just thought of someone or saw someone. What do we do about it? We don’t want to ask if there is anything that we can do, because they might tell us. That would cause us to get out of our comfort zone, wouldn’t it? Let us be the church in everything we do, and at all times of the year. If you know someone who is spending this time of the year by himself or herself, invite them to join you and your family. Maybe it is a single parent who you know is struggling this season, why not step out in faith and help them out. Let us who have received the gift of a perfect family (in Heaven), help keep Jesus as the reason for the Season.
