What does it mean to be in the true spirit of Christmas?
I have never really pondered and acted upon such promptings when I would think about what it REALLY means to be in the spirit of this season.
SAD right, I know. But I think I have found a reason to think about it now and I know why I would want to.
Service- I am doing not-stop service for the one and only. I have never really thought about how that works. Everything I am doing is for Him and I have never been better. If you really think about it and truly GIVE you don't have to worry about what is under the tree or of you even have one!
I am seeing what I haven't, you can't really see what you are missing when you don't look! I never really cared enough to look around and see that if I care just a bit less about what I wanted and saw what another lacked I would be so much better off! I wouldn't care as long as I kept my heart focused on the only thing that matters! Him and His SERVICE! So what did I do about my new found knowledge?
I saw another lack, and shared! I never really thought about what I actually HAVE. I always looked at what I DIDN'T have! That was my problem! I opened my eyes and served. Turns out that what I shared was accepted but he didn't want me to have a bad time, and something he thought was better came along, but I still tried, and it worked, it made me feel like I had a purpose!
I will NEVER forget how I feel when I serve and give to others!
The blessings are not even countable! I have been given so much and blessed by what would normally seem like a completely "basic" want. I have also learned that there are no real "basic" WANTS! But with the Lord on my side- I was given more than just those "basics" and given so much more, and they keep coming!
I love being a missionary and the blessing that I am receiving from such dedicated service! I will never forget the Love that He offers me and I will always remember, "Because I Have Been Given Much"
