For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)
Let us not forget that Jesus is the reason for this season. It is not about gift giving or receiving it is about remembering the birth of Jesus and how through his birth, life, and death the world as we know it changed. Our lives were spared and saved before we even knew who we were!
Everyday you should give thanks unto God and remember Jesus. This time is a great time to speak to a non-believer by sharing the birth of Jesus and showing love and compassion to them.
So many people get stressed out during this time because they cannot give/buy for others or because they are without a natural family here on earth.
Jesus is the Reason for the Season. He is a mother, father, doctor, lawyer, whatever you need when you need it, He is EVERYTHING!
