Christmas time is here.
Gifts will be filling up living rooms across the country. Kids are writing out lists for their families. Parents are working extra shifts to pay for these gifts.
The Christmas spirit is taking over our brains as we speak.
But what about those of us who won’t have any presents under the tree?
Whose parents are working hard just to feed their families with no money left to spare?
Kids who wish for new clothes as much as they do for a new toy?
Every Christmas, these questions bombard my mind.
I can’t help but think of the verse that says, “For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more” (Luke 12:48).
The needs are great this Christmas–as they are all throughout the year. Something about the season of giving, though, make the needs more evident.
In other words, we’re paying attention.
What can we commit to doing this year to help others?
One of the goals for this blog is to help others. That’s my aim every time I share with you. I want this community to become a place that recognizes and meets needs.
I plan on giving money to the Big Oak Ranch, a local children’s home, to buy presents for the children in their care.
If this is something you’d be interested in doing, here’s the link:
Let me know what you plan on doing to give back.
Remember: To whom much is given, much is required.
