So many people will shop the popular retail stores in the early morning hours of Black Friday. Lots of great deals on lots of needed (and unneeded) items await the throngs. Only those brave enough to stand in the cold and patient enough to wait in line will receive their reward. And while the process of shopping with friends and family might be lots of fun, some of you might also come away wondering about the time and money spent on such gifts.
Consider a new kind of gift, one with eternal meaning. Consider giving a child in the slum of Uganda a dolly for Christmas…perhaps the only toy he or she may have. Consider giving a hot meal with meat…a luxury to the families in this neighborhood. Consider giving the people ongoing skilled trades training…so they can provide for their families. But most of all, consider giving the people in this neighborhood a fresh perspective about how much God loves them and has not forgotten them…the gift of the living Hope (1 Peter 1:3-4).
