Christmas

Well, the time has come again. The day of joy, peace and fun for most people in the world. Businesses will see earnings increase and many people will find shopping to be such a chore and blah blah blah. Yet, we must not forget that this is really a time to share, a time to love and a time to do good deeds to others. I'm not talking about giving a huge donation to those needy people (although that would be highly appreciated) but to roll up your sleeves and to reach out to those in need. Yes, volunteer your time and effort to the different causes that are out there in the society.

How many of us actually do something for others that do not benefit ourselves? As a society on the whole, many of us have become takers instead of givers. Many of us have heard the phrase "It is more blessed to give than to recieve", and mistakenly think that it only refers to our money. In my opinion, time is more precious than money, so we should volunteer our time instead.

For my part, I'm going to be helping out with a Christmas party for children later in the week and will be doing some carolling as well if it goes well. Maybe you should also think of volunteering your services too, as nothing can replace the joy of seeing people being blessed by your actions.
