Did you know, something that makes God happy is giving. God gave us a gift... how awesome is that, God, the God who created us, the God who made the heavens and the earth gave us a gift!!! That gift being Jesus Christ, who saves us from spending eternity in hell.
With all this running through my head and knowing that giving makes God happy, I started thinking about how we should give. Now, I know what some of you are saying, "JT, I do not have anything to give!". Lets look at a story in the Bible.
We pick up where Jesus has been sitting in the corner opposite of the place where people are giving offerings. "... Many rich people threw in large amounts. (this being large amounts of money). But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a fraction of a penny. Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything-all she had to live on.""
It is not how much you give, it is what you give that counts. This Christmas, lets all stop and take a moment to help someone around us. What can you do to give?
See you soon!

P.S.- Do not forget that the Manger offering is this Wed. Night. (The money raised will help benefit multiply things, the top two being the school, and Melba's Manor.)
