Christmas, more than a tradition!

How beautiful is this time of the year, yearned for by many, either for the time of vacation, or for the reunion with family and friends who travel from far away for this beautiful Christmas season.

I think that over the years, Christmas has lost its essence, as it has unfortunately turned into a business, where it is believed that the best Christmas is where clothes are opened, gifts are bought, the house is decorated and you dress our table of the best delicacies, and it's not like that; Christmas is a time of reunions, of reconceiving, of asking for forgiveness, of new beginnings, of loving, of embracing, of friendship, of family, of unity.

I think it's time to change our way of thinking, Christmas is not a time to receive, it's a time to give; to give a smile, a plate of food to those who need it, a piece of clothing that they do not have; It is easy to give to the one who can give back what we give, but we will have a greater reward from God if we give to the one who does not have; so be it small detail, a small gesture, I think those little details fill hearts, heal wounds, dry tears.

We must start with us, teaching our children not to be materialistic, to be loving, exemplary.

Maybe you do not have the money to give a gift, or a plate of food to share, but I'm sure if you have something to give, maybe a talent, a music, a drawing, some writing; but something is true, you can not limit yourself, since what you have can make another happy, use it.

I want to share with you this beautiful initiative that we had in the church where I attend; Together with a group of friends we decided to act, we did a play and we dressed as children, addressed to the whole family, especially the children; That day everyone enjoyed, laughed and shared with us that beautiful experience.

Use what you have, let yourself be used by God to heal hearts in these holidays, perhaps they will not thank you but it is a seed sown that has its time will bear good fruit.

I wish a happy Christmas for all, peace, love and faith for you and your family.
