WORDS OF WISDOM

They say it costs you nothing to be good.  Are you afraid that if you are good, people will laugh at you and say, "You are good for nothing."  Silly, isn't it?   Don't be afraid to do what is good.   

Now that we've got that out of the way, what is good to do?  Do things for other people; especially people who really need help.  Helping those who need help is the only thing that might help us remember that this time of year is not about spending as much or more than you can afford on those you love.  The world has made this season completely materialistic. Your loved ones will still love you if your gift is small yet meaningful.  I guarantee you will feel better for giving to or doing something for the needy than for anything you give to a relative. Never forget that we are approaching the celebration of the birth of the one who gave us the greatest gift ever given.  Never forget that the world has created this travesty of a holiday in order to downplay the real meaning of the day and reap an economic boom.   This year make it  not so much happy or merry as blessed.
