Your thinking to yourself, well what is this crazy person trying to do? Ruin my Christmas? After all it is Christmas and I am trying to get ready with and for my family. How is it that someone is trying to intrude on my Christmas with all this depressing talk of hunger and death? And, you ask yourself, how is this my concern? Well, first, Matthew 25 tells us it is our concern. And yes, statistics show that the wealthiest 4,000 people of the United States could wipe out hunger almost over night, if they chose to do so. But they do not and so we, as the Good Samaritan are the next best thing, maybe the only next thing.
And, yes, it is Christmas!
Yes, there was no room at the inn when Mary and Joseph arrived and so the innkeeper shared a stable with them. You are busy and we all know it. Certainly you cannot change the fact there was no room at the inn but you can, today, make room in your heart. You can dedicate a small piece of your heart to the Christ. (Suffer the little children). And now you ask how can I do that? Well there are many organizations all over the globe but I am going to suggest just one. http://www.worldvision.org/content.nsf/about/who-we-are?OpenDocument&lpos=top_drp_AboutUs_WhoWeAre Yep, it is World Vision Adopt a child or give a goat but this Christmas add to your wish list the ending of world hunger -- and then adopt a child. Don't like this one, find one you do like and support it. Don't let another child go to bed crying from hunger. Let's make this a Christmas to remember!
