What does it really mean to pull out a few quarters in your pocket and drop them in the red kettle, or better yet put them in the cup of that person who walks thru traffic?
What does it mean to have Christ in our life? A simple person, born in a simple stable. We traditionally take out manger scenes and arrange statues indoor and out to represent the manger. Could you live in a manger? What about the person in the park that still has a tent up in this weather?
When was the last time you looked deeply into the eyes of the guy on the ground shaking his cup outside the 7-Eleven?
This Christmas, say Merry Christmas, because it is a holy day. Say Merry Christmas and have mercy on the homeless, the beggars, and the downtrodden.
Have mercy on them.
