During this busy Christmas season whether you're out buying Christmas presents, attending cookie exchanges, attending Christmas parties and family gatherings you can't forget what the Heart of Christmas really is. A couple of songs that constantly remind me of this is The Christmas Shoes by NewSong and The Heart of Christmas by Matthew West. (don't listen to Christmas Shoes without kleenex nearby)
Is this the year that you start a new traditon of donating to a family in need, or an orphan, or maybe the Humane Society. Just remember Christmas isn't just about receiving presents. It is about celebrating the Birth of our Savior. And giving and spending time with family. But most importantly celebrating the birth of Christ.
If you were in the shoes of the man who was behind the little boy who was buying the shoes for his sick mom, would you have stepped up to help pay?
Last night at youth group we put ourselves in the shoes of some people in the story of Christ's birth. We put ourselves in the shoes of the innkeeper, the shepherds, and Mary's. What would you do if you were the innkeeper, a shepherd, or even Mary?
Think about it, let me know.
Much Love,
Dakota
P.S. We have raised $488 for Leilani. Almost halfway there!! But 3/4ths of the way done. If you feel led to donate let me know! I will tell you how!
