What an unbelievable gift! God with us. Coming to us as a helpless infant born into poverty far from home. Yet coming to us through a loving mother, who despite her poverty saw to it that Jesus was warmly wrapped and laid to sleep in a soft bed, however humble.

No matter who we are or what our lives are like, we can show our love and gratitude for God by showing that same care to those around us, to those with the least, to the lonely and lost. God is present with us in Jesus anywhere God’s love is shared. Merry Christmas.

How can I share God’s love with another person today?
