Merry CHRISTmas

Its December! The cold, snow(if we ever get any that is), no school, cookies, lots of food and Christmas is here! Everyone is shopping, waiting to open thier christmas presents, baking, and so much more. Here’s a surprise for you, none of this is what the christmas season is all about. Yes, it is what happens and what comes at this time of year. But, take a step back and look at the real reason for the season, CHRIST! It would all be completely different without him. One thing that I have noticed about Christmas time is that everyone gets caught up in what they are getting and what they want instead of what Christ wants us to do, GIVE. Him and God, are both all about more giving than recieving. God has given us almost all that he has, and all he asks for in return is that we love him and follow his commands. What has God given us? God gave his one and only son to us. God gives us forgiveness of our sins. God has even given us the land we live, walk, and sleep on. God gave us rules to live by. God has already given us a place in heaven with him. And. Christ has given us his life! Just so that we could be forgiven! As christians we are called to be like Christ. I mean dont literally give your life, but GIVE!!! Give someone a hug, give your younger a sibling a piece of your christmas candy. Its those little things of giving that make whoever gets them feel special and will want to give someone else that same feeling. Personally, I’ve been on both sides of this and no matter what it feel great!
