STOP AND THINK – Christmas is not just a day … It is a spirit that should permeate every part of our lives (William Parks, 18th century publisher and journalist).
It’s the day after. Has the Christmas spirit evaporated? The excitement and anticipation all gone? How sad! If giving, gratitude, and love are elements of the Christmas spirit, shouldn’t they continue through the whole year? In gratitude for the greatest gift at Christmas and the hope it provides, let’s maintain a spirit of love and joy all year.
Jesus: “I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.” (John 15:11)
