Invite someone to a meal. Check on the friend who’s been quiet. Be generous. Give a meaningful compliment. Tip well. Write the text message. Offer to pray. And if they say yes, keep it simple: “God, thank You for them. Help them. Show them You’re real. Amen.”
You’d be surprised how often people say yes to that.
Because under all the noise, a lot of people are still searching for hope. And Christmas (real Christmas) is exactly that:
Good News. Great joy. For all people.
That’s what Jesus brought. He gave himself for the good of others, even when they didn’t understand him, even when they didn’t appreciate it. And he still loves every single one of us.
So don’t forget what Christmas is.
It’s not just a holiday.
It’s hope with a name.
