Gift of Caring

This time of year is a joyous time for some, but we need to be mindful of those who are hurting and going through hard times. Some are faced with financial struggles as they try to make ends meet. Some are hurting as every loss, especially at this time of year, is magnified, every wound is deepened, every past hurt and pain is brought to surface again. We can all identify with the pain that life brings sometimes.


Give the gift of caring this year as you help those who are grieving, those who are hurting and in pain. Lend a shoulder to those who just need to be reassured that someone cares. Pray that the Father will give you His eyes to see the broken people crying out for help this Christmas season. Lord heal the pain in the tears of those around us.

My friend, hold on to Jesus for He is Always with you and knows your pain. He can restore your soul. Jesus said in Matthew 28:20 '...I am with you always, even to the end of the age.

The Christmas Joy is not found in gifts, my friend, it is found in the greatest gift ever given - Jesus Christ! Joy comes from Christ's presence in our lives, it comes from the inside where we have a peace that only Christ can bring - a peace beyond understanding. So if you are feeling sad, it is okay, I pray you feel the loving arms of your savior Jesus Christ around you this Christmas season. I pray you feel Christ's peace within your soul.
