The Holiday season is well under way. Thanksgiving has passed and Christmas is on the Horizon. What most did you give thanks for? Thanksgiving can truly be a time of good reflection and joyous times, but some people may feel like they have nothing to be thankful for. Someone may not have a family to share with. Someone may not even have a home to eat a warm cooked meal in. While we are giving thanks and breaking bread - lets not forget about those that are less fortunate. Lets not forget about those who may not be as blessed to share with a family.
Even though Thanksgiving is not truly a religious holiday, and has been adopted by the Christian church - we can still attach our loving Christian values so that the peace and love of God people can be spread among the masses. As we are out shopping this season - why not pick up an extra sweater to give to someone in a shelter? While we are baking cookies and making pies - why not make an extra one to share with someone other than our own? Let's not only remember our own this holiday season, but let's have the attitude of Christ and seek the less fortunate so that they too can fell happy and joyous - even in the midst of any sorrow that they may be encountering. Its more to the Holiday than just making our own happy, but our love should expand so that it can leak into the lives of our fellow brothers and sisters as well.
