The Ultimate Gift-Part 3

What can we do to make this Christmas the very best? Here are four special gifts we can give.........

One is to worship Christ more fully than ever before. We get so busy and forget the precious gift that Jesus gave for us. During this time of the season, make worship a priority.

Second, spend less. Don't go in debt. Don't rack up credit card bills. Don't over extend financially where you are so stressed out as you start the new year.

Third, give more. Give more of your time and energy to helping those around you. Less about satisfying your own desires and m ore about touching the lives of others.

And last, let's show our love during this busy holiday season. Don't honk at the guy that stole your parking place. Be nice to the cousin who you might not care to be around but really try to show him you care.

The holiday season can be a trying and confusing time. One that you wish could pass quickly. But it could be a time that many good things could happen for the cause of Christ.

Let's show Christ and others what the holidays should be all about.......Worship, Sacrifice, Giving to others and Loving more. Christ did that for us and we can shower these on others this holiday season.

“He was despised and rejected—a man of sorrows, acquainted with bitterest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way when he went by. He was despised, and we did not care. Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God for his own sins!” Isaiah 53:3-4
