I love this time of year! The time between Thanksgiving and Christmas when I love listening to Christmas music, decorating the tree, baking gingerbread cookies with family and friends, and enjoying the cold snowy weather (which is coming I just know it!) This wonderful, jolly time is for peace, happiness, and love. This time of year should always remind of us the relentless love that Jesus gives us everyday and we should try to live more like him, especially during this holiday season. It is so easy to get wrapped up in gifts, that the true meaning of Christmas is sometimes forgotten and lost in the hustle and bustle of this busy time of year.
This Advent season, it is my goal to spend less, but give more. I want to spend less money on unthoughtful, meaningless gifts (you know the ones you buy because you think you have to) and spend more of my time and presence on those things that mean a lot to me and where I have the potential to make a difference. I want to love more like Jesus and to do this I am going to try to think of those less fortunate than I am and start there. By donating my time and presence to these people will hopefully make a difference in not only their day, but hopefully their holiday season too.
