Summary: Giving is synonymous with the Christmas season. Whether it’s buying a gift for a child in need or donating food to a local shelter. Reaching out and celebrating through giving is one way to experience the joy of Christmas. Many families make it an annual tradition to participate in holiday giving. A family friend of ours puts together gift boxes for children overseas each year. Another family annually volunteers their time on Christmas day to serve food to the homeless. What giving traditions do you have? What ways can you begin to give this year? Perhaps one way to give is to simply share the good news of Christ with others this Christmas. Neighbors or fellow-workers need it. Reaching our world with the true meaning of the season is a challenge. But, giving this gift will save a life forever. What greater joy is there? “Go, tell it on the mountains,” the Bible says. Share the hope you have with a friend; share the joy you have with a stranger! Serve those in need and joyfully celebrate the good news of Christ in the midst of this season.
