But all of us have been affected by a worldwide PANDEMIC that will follow us for the rest of our lives!
And now that Christmas and New Year’s is upon us, I think it is a good time to put things into perspective. It is amazing that during one of the most tragic times of our lives, where we are losing record number of lives, that many people are traveling across the Country via plane, train, debus, car, and standing in long lines to buy Christmas Gifts. However, anyone who understands the true meaning of Christmas knows that the reason for this season is the birth of Jesus Christ. And the gift buying is something that recent cultures have inserted over time.
If there is anytime that we need to focus on the poor and disadvantaged now is the time. Maybe donating your gift to a needy individual/family would be better this year. Most families I know of are having a hard time financially, and of course many gifts can be purchased at stores such as Costco, Mall, general discount and 99cent stores but, I believe there is so much power and value in offering a Christmas gift that in fact does not cost money…however is something personal that can be given sincerely.
Anyway, however you choose to celebrate Christmas and the holidays, stay safe, be extra nice to others, and have a wonderful holiday season, and a Prosperous New Year!
