Tis the Season


Tis the Season

The hustle and bustle of the Christmas season could and can put us in a tizzy thinking that we have to purchase the perfect gift for family, friends and others we would like to show thanks or gratitude to. But, many this year may not be able to shop as they have in the past. Some may do as they have many times before...count pennies and buy what they can for the ones they love. Some can't buy at all. It is more important to keep the electric bill paid and food on the table.

Christmas is a time to celebrate and reflect on the reason for the season - Jesus. Giving is more than pretty packages with bows and ribbons. It means reaching out to those in need or people needing a friend. It doesn't cost alot, just our precious time which is most valuable in today's world. Wouldn't it be awesome to have an endless supply of money. Not to spend on yourself, but on others. To see a family in line at the grocery with smiling children and knowing in your heart that they might need a helping hand...so you pick up the tab on their groceries!

How about pulling up at a drive thru at your favorite fast food restaurant and paying the cashier for everyone's order behind you. Walking in to your electric or water company and having an idea of who might be struggling for cash at this time of year and paying the bill for them. All of this anonoymously.

The best gifts aren't usually the largest or prettiest, they are the ones that are true and come from the heart.

On behalf of our band family to yours, we hope that you have a safe and merry Christmas. Enjoy your family and friends and take time to look around you during the hustle and bustle. You may be able to share a gift with others that means more than you will ever know.

Good deeds usually get passed on and on. I hope we can take each and every day to slow down and pass along a good deed, no matter what size it is.

Thanks for your support and friendship. We hope to see you soon.
