By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity,
faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
Christmas is a time of sharing. We exchange gifts with one another, but many of us will go
beyond that. We will drop money into Salvation Army kettles, we will write checks to worthy
community projects, some of us will make an end-of-the-year contribution to the church. There is
something about this season that helps us see beyond ourselves to the needs of others.
It is a blessing to give!
(Galatians 5:22-23
NRSV)
The multitudes asked John the Baptist, "What should we do?" John the Baptist answered, "He
who has two coats, let him share with him who has none; and he who has food, let him do
likewise."
God of the greatest gift, help me to see beyond my needs to the needs to others. Amen.
