Xmas pressies
|
Well as there are so many threads about Xmas...
Whe I was little, well about 10, I remember our minister giving a sermon about Xmas being Jesus' birthday. And on your birthday, you get presents. So we should all give a present to Jesus on his birthday.
I've never forgotten that, and I still do it. It's not about money, or giving money to charity (though that is okay sometimes) it's about doing something.
In the past I've done all sort of things. When my son was born and in the special care unit, I knitted hats and bootees for premature babies. I've made cakes for the senoir citizens xmas party. As a family, we "adopted" a child in Africa.
So, what Xmas present will you give Jesus this year?
