I can't remember moving into December without feeling the spirit of Christmas come over and take over my soul! I spend too much and my kneejerk reaction is to help one and all. I'm already there on Monday, December 3. Meleia works for me on Mondays and I just filled up her car with errands: Xmas decorations for the Safe House and videos for the troops abroad. It is such a simple gesture. I have way too much stuff and it is simple housecleaning at the same time it helps others. I went by this place yesterday, across from Kidds, and they said bring in your videos for the troops. I have one in Afghanistan and I want him to have some moments of joy.
Wouldn't that be a Christmas present? To have all the troops home. I am trying to do something for someone each December day. That is my Christmas present to myself! Giving is elating to the soul. No one knows how it will be received. You have to stick your neck out and try!
1 John 3:17-18 says:
"If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?" So I am determined to reach out to nameless people in secret and try to make a difference to one person in a special way this Christmas season!
