"Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above
yourselves."
What is the best way for us to love and honor each other during the holidays?
Christmas has nothing to do with Black Friday, Cyber Tuesday or any other shopping strategy. It is a time to show your appreciation
to God for the family and friends He has given you.
Devotion and Honor are not expressed
by buying the latest gadget ... that is only a distraction. In fact, not having time to
spend with your family because you are busy trying to get a good deal on their gift
is the antithesis of Christmas.
This year purify your
holiday.
Don’t allow materialism to
pollute your celebration. Don’t spend
your time looking for trinkets, but instead think of ways to truly honor those
you love.
The best gifts are not the most
expensive.
The gifts that are remembered are the
simple ones given from the heart. Don’t just buy presents, invest
time. Spend more time this Christmas communicating with those you love, and less time shopping for them.
Nothing “online” will compare to
a quite conversation with a loved one where you express how valuable they are
to you, and how grateful you are that God placed them in your life…don’t miss that
opportunity.
“Appreciation
can make a day - even change a life. Your willingness to put it into words is
all that is necessary.”
