Holiday or Every Day
Have you notice a difference in the people you associate with since Thanksgiving? It seems as if this time of year brings out the best in people. I find they tend to smile more, speak more, and are extremely courteous. Christian like qualities seems to be everywhere. Wouldn’t it be nice if the pleasantries and sentiments of caring and compassion could last throughout the year? To live in a world where loving and caring for others was a priority. Imagine living in a world where helping and giving to others was as natural as tying your shoes. Let us take advantage of the time and season we’re in and continue to spread the good news and love of Christ. For us this is not holiday cheer and hopefully the love and compassing we have shown others did not begin on Thanksgiving and will not end on Christmas or New Years Day. Let us use this opportunity to be a light in the lives of all the people we come in contact with. Hopefully our efforts will bring them one step closer to the Kingdom of God.
Beloved, let us love one another for love is (springs) from God; and he who loves (his fellowmen) is begotten (born) of God and is coming (progressively) to know and understand God (to perceive and recognize and get a better and clearer knowledge of Him). 1John 4:7
I completely agree. If the spirit of love and giving was practiced on a daily basis, we would all be living in a much more peaceful world. Thanks for sharing.
