Do Something Nice...

So I don't put too my church stuff on here generally speaking. But today the 97 year-old President of the church said in a Christmas devotional, "Maybe 'Merry Christmas' is the wrong thing to say. Maybe we should say, "It's Christmastime. Is there anything I can do to help you?...Are your burdens too heavy?" I loved it, and it seemed very much in the true spirit of Christmas.

Christin - Thank you for posting this. I heard this, but unfortunately it didn't strike me as such a profound message until you pointed it out

I will try to remember this statement when I am doing tithing settlement this year. I could have used it last night. Instead I stumbled through some of my own words but think I accomplished the same thing. Bishop Ron
