Give Christmas Joy


           Have you had your Joy Juice today?  We’ve all heard that it’s more blessed to give than receive.  So let’s give generously during this Christmas season.

            Especially during this time of year, we should be sensitive to the opportunities God puts before us to be a blessing to people along our way.  Let’s be intentional about sharing the love and joy of the Lord with others by encouraging them with our words, our actions and our gifts.

            Speaking of gifts, here’s a great Christmas gift idea for everyone on your list. It’s economical; one size fits all….and it works no matter what age or gender, regardless of interests or talents. Everybody enjoys this gift whether they admit it or not.   It’s the gift of ENCOURAGEMENT.

            Author Karen Porter says that encouragement is like a chocolate candy kiss.  Even though it’s small, it sure yields wonderful results! And we find ourselves looking forward eagerly to the next taste!  In the same way, a timely word of encouragement hints at the love of God and leaves us wanting more! 1 Thess. 5:11 tells us to “encourage one another and build each other up.”
              
            Let’s ask God to make us sensitive to others during this Christmas season.   You may never know what a difference this gift will make in the life of a person who is in of a simple word of encouragement!

Give the beautifully wrapped gift of encouragement this season, tied with a glitterly ribbon of joy.
