Be mindful of the reason for celebrating this season of joy. Let us not forget that Jesus is the reason for the season.

As we celebrate this season of joy, let us remember the reason for the season; because of Jesus’ birth, we are renewed,we are marked as joint heirs with Him. This season should be celebrated fully to His honor and glory. We are so thankful that you came into this world to save sinners, you love us unconditionally, and you remind us that we should also love one another. So, help us to lend a hand this season to the less fortunate. Help us to remember the poor, the homeless, the destitute, those who are in prisons and hospitals; for God assures us, that, if we offer food to the hungry and satisfy the needs of the afflicted, our light shall rise in the darkness and God’s promises are true. Heavenly Father, we know that we have been blessed in so many ways, and as you continue to bless us, help us to be a blessing to others, help us to continually thank you for the things that we do have and not worry or complain about the things that we don’t have.
