Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act ofcaring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. LeoBuscaglia
During this Christmas season many people stress themselves out and may become depressed due to their inability to provide what they wantfor their loved ones. Often times we allow this to be the season ofbeat down. Yes, I said that and what I mean is that you may beatyourself down because you’re unable to do better than you did last yearor you can’t get that special gift that you know your loved one desires.
Don’t feel bad it’s a human feeling, however, we are responsible for our actions. Are you responding this year the same way you respondedlast year? Are you allowing this season which is a season of giving tobecome a dreaded time of year? It is the season of giving not simplybecause of what we give but rather what God gave to us, “His gift” Hisonly Son Jesus Christ.
Don’t forget the true meaning of Christmas. It is a time that we as Christians celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Itis then and only then that you can remember and take to heart themessage in the above quote. There is power in the things that we deemvery small. Sure it’s good to give tangible gifts, however, in themidst of your busy endeavors to fulfill the wants of your loved onesdon’t forget passers by or that sister that was put on your heart whomay be going through this year because her loved one is no longer herethis Christmas. Place a phone call, send a card. If you see her atchurch take an extra minute to greet her with an endearing look intoher eye and embrace her with a hug. This can turn a life around.
Give the gift of Authentic caring this Christmas and always. That’s a gift worth giving.
Merry Christmas!
