Be More Mindful at Christmas!

BE MORE MINDFUL 🔗
" The most important task of all is simply to be there for those who suffer. Jesus modeled this very well throughout his life, and he calls us to do the same. Listen, care, and don’t walk away. The worst thing one can do is to not stand by a good friend, relative, or other person who is deeply suffering for whatever reason. Pray for your friend and let them know that not only does God love them, but so do YOU.


These pointers may help you and those you care about to find rest and security in your love and friendship. Remember, aside from loving God first and loving others, the greatest command of Jesus to his followers is to love and care for the marginalized. 
Holidays are not just about cookies, presents, trees and fun. The celebration of our faith is about love, sacrifice, care, and real joy based in the love of God. Be blessed."
The perfectly decorated Christmas tree & the gifts underneath shouldn't be the main focus of Christmas. 
LUKE 2:7
"and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them."
