Do It for Dray

                         

Our granddaughter, Lauren...she's the one active in Cross- Fit, was among  the group to raise money for a poor and unfortunate child, named Dray, for Christmas.  They were able to donate over $1,600. to Dray and other families so that they could have a nice Christmas.

That is the kind of thing God would have us do. We should think of others more highly than ourselves.

This reminds me of the Bible verse  Acts20:35  "In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: "It is more blessed to give than to receive."

So one of the best ways to celebrate Christmas is not by making a long list of things we want, but to supply gifts to others who really will appreciate them.  Seeing the joy in their eyes is worth more than  silver or gold.
