This is the most wonderful time of the year. Not only was our savior born, Jesus Christ, but the world is full of blessing that you can be a part of.

There are so many people who don’t even know it, but they provide the true meaning of Christmas. Those who have special needs and those who maybe have no one or nothing.

As we go about buying gifts and preparing for Christmas, we encounter these people. Stop, and talk to them and their caregivers.

There are many shut-ins too who are thankful for a visit, a dish of cookies, a chance to share their memories and once more feel the love of God and our fellow man.

My wish and prayer is that God touches your life with the awesome present of peace knowing you have helped someone so much with such a little gesture.

God bless and merry Christmas.
