I am blessed to be a part of an amazing church. I love my church. A few years back we started Imagine. As church members we donate new coats, new toys, and food for those in need. "Imagine everyone has a coat, toy, food, and Jesus for Christmas." I have always donated, but this year I stepped up and helped with the distribution. I decided to be a host. The job as host was to get to know the families and take them through to get the items and pray with them.
As a social worker I come into contact with those in needs everyday. But this was different. I got to not only meet their worldly needs, but their spiritually needs. I prayed with them. I heard the most heart breaking stories. I got to offer them the hope of Jesus. It was beyond rewarding. I helped 8 families. And I got to know prayer requests for each family. I will keep them in my prayers.
This holiday season try not to get wrapped up in Santa, trees, gift wrapping, baking, etc. Remember Jesus is the Reason for the Season. Remember the birth of our Savior.
