Christmas for Children

WHAT IS CHRISTMAS???

            To many people Christmas is about giving and receiving gifts, to others it’s about celebrating the life of our Lord and savior. For some it’s just a normal regular day.

God gave a gift to us that many do not appreciate, many  of us do not consider that the life we are living is not actually our own, the breath that is breathe every day is not our own, yet we can continue to live a life that is not pleasing to God.

God gave his son, that we may have life and have it more abundantly.

Many of us take for granted the things that are given to us and this is done on a daily base so much so we don’t appreciate the little gestures.

The Bible speaks about giving, ” Give it will be given back to you shaken together, pressed down and running over”. Thats why I encourage each person that is reading this blog today don’t give because you feel it’s something that you have to do. Give not expecting anything in return and you shall see the blessing of the Lord.

I reflect on days when I had nothing but the little I did have I was always willing to share. Even if it meant I ended up with nothing. I can tell you that God has been so good to me in so many ways, I will never stop praising Him or worshipping Him, for God is a mighty God, He is a faithful God and  I know he will never leave me or forsake me.

LENDING A HELPING HAND

At 10 years old my mother took me to a shelter where people were bustling to get breakfast. That was the day I knew that helping people was something I wanted to do.

This year I would love to be able to give to the children of at least two or three of the shelters in the country where I live. 

           It’s just a joy to see the faces of people when you are able to help them even more so children when you are able to give something to them that they have never had. I want to ask for the help of each of you if you could donate if only $0.50 just a small token that will help go towards cooking a hot Christmas meal and a small gift to a child  that has probably never experienced what it feels like to be loved or appreciated.

Let us all be our brothers keepers, let us all show love to one another, isn’t that what Christ did?
