If you have friends who have lost a loved one since last Christmas, make a special effort to call them and comfort them during the holidays. Let them talk about the person they lost if they want too it brings comfort to be able to talk to someone.
Remind them that Jesus is the one who can bring comfort to their heart, but don’t get preachy.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-14
But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

Countdown to Christmas
December 5, 2013We will try to put a tip for you everyday from now until Christmas Day to make your season a little more joyful.
Wish everyone you meet Merry Christmas and smile. As Christians we should be the most joyful of anyone as we know the true meaning of Christmas.
Keep Christ in Christmas
December 4, 2013Christmas is a wonderful time of year. The beauty of the decorations, Christmas Carols, happy faces and a time of joy for most people. It is the one time of year when in the stores the music is pleasant to hear.
Sad to say though, that in America Christmas has become so commercialized that the true meaning has been replaced.
Then we have the people who want to take Christ out of Christmas. No Christmas tree, instead Holiday tree. No Christmas carols or even secular songs as it might offend someone.
Even Christians have different beliefs about the right and wrong way to celebrate and that is OK, but as brothers in Christ let us love one another and strive to keep Christ in Christmas.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
