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.
