The Holiday Rush

Thanksgiving has come and gone. We all ate good and now is the time when the malls are packed with shoppers, many of which will go into debt purchasing things they can't afford trying to impress others. I ask that you all remember the reason for the season. It's not about eating and giving gifts though that's a part of it. The reason for the season is Jesus. Find things to be grateful for and give him the praise. Are you healthy? Do you have a roof over your head?, A warm home?, Are you employed?, Do you have kids, parents, siblings?, Do you have a car or access to public transportation? These are all amazing gifts that GOD has given us. I'm sure you have plenty more to add to this list. So when you're shopping or preparing to sit down to enjoy your holiday feast with your family make sure you acknowledge GOD as well. We would not be here if it weren't for him. GOD is love.
