One Week to Christmas
The way you spend Christmas is far more important than how much. (Henry David Thoreau, 19th century American philosopher)
Have you finished your holiday shopping? Is there anything left in your Christmas budget? Giving is a means of sharing love and caring for others. But Thoreau’s statement is challenging. More important than spending money and time for gift-giving is spending time in serious reflection on the meaning of Christmas and our relationship with Jesus whose birth we celebrate.
For God…made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ (2 Corinthians 4:6).
