“Those of us who are committed to the message of good news embodied in the birth of God’s Son would do well to remember the words of John the Baptist as he prepared the way for Jesus: “Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.” What wonderful gift-giving wisdom! This is the kind of advice that just might make for a joyful season.”
