A few weeks ago in the Women's Bible Study on Wednesday evening we were talking about what Christmas means to each of us. Cathy left us with a thought that evening "What is your Christmas tradition??". Well this has been on my mind every since. I was trying to come up with something that would be a great tradition for me to start in my life and how I could bless someone else.
Saturday evening I was going through my emails and the Freedom Valley Prayer group site was buzzing with excitement of the body of Christ stepping up to help a couple and their three teenage children with some gifts for the children and decorations to make these teenagers Christmas a memorable one.
I felt God toughing on my heart to get involved somehow. My finances like many others are pretty used up over the holidays and I kept wondering how. That's when I made a decision to contribute a gift card for toiletries or groceries. God has blessed me so much this year that I knew that he would make all of this work out.
Sunday morning I went to Walmart and purchased a gift card and took it to church with me for the family. It was a great day of celebrating the love of God through the FVCO and a great message from Gerry with much food for thought. In the evening I went to a traditional Carol sing and home for the evening.
Monday morning came and I went to work as usual. I was no sooner in the door of my plant when my supervisor said he had something for me. It was a gift card for being a first aid person for the year.
Long story short, I started a new tradition of giving to a family that I don't even know and God blessed me back for going the extra mile at work.
Have a great Christmas and remember the Christ is the reason for the season.
