While most people are busy preparing their Christmas fare or Noche Buena at this time, there are those who are not -- those who are grieving the loss of a loved one, or are sick, or are so poor they can't afford to put anything special on the table.
Let's remember to reach out to them and help them in whatever way we can and include them in our prayers. Let's remind them of what God named the Lord Jesus when He came to earth by being born in a manger: Immanuel, which means God is with us! What a beautiful truth! God is with us! Through all our pains and suffering, the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth is on our side, and
He said never will He leave us nor forsake us.
He said never will He leave us nor forsake us.

Let us thank God today for His infinite love and kindness to humanity. He gave His one and only Son in His desire to save us from eternal condemnation because of our sins! Indeed there is no better proof that God loves us so very much. And because He loves us, He is always willing to help us in times of trouble and need. All we have to do is pray to Him and trust that He will answer. Let this be a reminder to those whose burden is so heavy they do not find a reason to celebrate the holidays.
Merry Christmas everyone and God bless us all.
