The wisest gift of the season
This has been one of those weeks when I'm hearing about too many people sick or having surgery. I've had to put down the decorations and pick up the note cards to let them know I'm thinking of them. It's never fun to be ill, but it seems especially difficult at holiday time. And the rest of us sometimes get caught up in the activity and whirlwind of shopping and decorating and socializing while some folks are barely able to make it through the day. If you know someone who is having a tough time this season I hope you find a way to let them know you're there for them. The Wise Men may have brought physical gifts to Jesus, but they also brought their hearts. There is no better gift of the season than caring for others. And the spiritual return on such an investment is absolutely priceless.
