We’re one week away from CHRISTmas Day/December 25th. This is a time for Joyous celebration so, let us spread this Joy by sharing with others through Love. Saying “I Love You” is a very good thing to do but, Showing someone that you “Love” them is even better and much needed. A visit, phone call and/or a text are all priceless gifts. Choose one or choose all. The book of Acts 20:35 states: "In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive'".
