Service is a Gift

I love this time of year.  I love Christmas lights and Christmas music and Christmas treats.  I love spending time with family and watching Christmas movies.  It is a wonderful time of year!

At times I feel that I get caught up in the business of Christmas.  Do we have all the presents ready?  Do we have all the treats cooked and prepared?  Do we have all the parties planned and crafts ready to go?

This is not a bad thing in my mind, however at times I feel I need to slow down.  I feel that I need to look out for those that are in need.  The church always has great videos around this time of year that help put things in perspective.  Here is a great video to help remember to find ways to serve and be kind to others: What Shall We Give?

I love this video so much.  To me it shows that no matter where we are in life we can find ways to serve others and uplift those in need.  It also taught me that no matter how busy or inconvenient it might be for us we need to take these opportunities to serve.

What shall we give this Christmas season?  I hope that we can find those in need and do our part to help them.  Let's all learn to follow the service of Jesus Christ and serve our fellow men.
