Christmas is near

Christmas is the time to think about our personal lives and those around us. Have you noticed how charitable we get around Christmas time? . . . Is it that we remember Christ and his life, and realized that to get to heaven we need to be more like Him? too late; we should be like Him every day of the year. In Rebecca's class; few weeks ago she mention that our book of life (sorry the name scape my mind right now) it wont' be written our wrong doings, but our good deeds. I like that, Our Father in Heaven wants to see if we were good throughout the year and not only on Christmas time.
I blame the commercialism, they make it seem like "This is the time to get together" with your family, is the time to BUY them gifts and "Don't forget anybody". It's the time of joy and cheer, not the time to be alone, SO; a million of people get depress because they are alone.
What about the 13th of January or maybe the 6th of July? what about the 19th of may? why can't those days be a time to be together, to Cheer with family members and to "BUY" them gifts? why the whole year couldn't be a time to be Charitable and remember those who don't have the basic needs? Why been charitable can't be commercialized? is it too Corny to be charitable?
My favorite season is Autumn, I go all year wishing for Halloween to come soon. . .Can we go all year living like Christmas is near and have that wonderful spirit?

Merry Christmas.

"Bring ye all the tithes
into the storehouse, that
there may be meat in mine house,
and prove me now herewith,
saith the Lord of hosts;
if I will not open you the
windows of heaven, and pour
you out a blessing, that
there shall not be room enough
to receive it
