- CHRISTMAS SHARING
-
- We celebrate Christmas by giving to those less fortunate than ourselves. We
- attend special services and read the Christmas story in Luke on Christmas Eve.
- We try to do mostly eveything that we do at Christmas all during the year, so
- that the people we help, do not have to feel left out, and just expect some-
- thing at Thanksgiving and Christmas. My children one year knew of a family
- in need and forfeited their gifts by choice and a unanimous vote to give to
- this other family instead of receiving gifts for themselves. As long as we
- give all year long and have God's love to share along with what we do, I think
- this is what Christmas was intended to be, just to spread God's love.
-
- I have really enjoyed the Christmas posts. Some of the ideas I have read, I
- will introduce into our celebration of Christmas. I have really been touched
- by these posts and have enjoyed reading all of them. Only what we do for
- Christ will last.
-
- May you all have a joyous and blessed Christmas, and a blessed and prosperous
- New Year. From the Cross family to all of you special people on Christia
- and other networks in the body of Christ -- MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
