What is on your list to give this Christmas? The other day the radio station was advertising a chance to win a box of the latest toys. Each year there are many new toys and gadgets that are marketed in such a way that you are almost made to feel empty without them. It is like our lives will not be whole without this latest "stuff". But the truth is our lives are empty because we lack the timeless gifts of love, joy, and peace. I want to give more love to those around me. It strikes me as a simple idea, but while we want more love we actually withhold it from those we care so much about. I long to live a generous life.
This Christmas, may we all give the gifts that lead to wholeness not emptiness. Jesus came in love for all humanity that peace might be known and that joy would be a reality to us all.
