My second experience was at a store when someone struck up a conversation with me about how Christmas is a really depressing time for him. It was sad and I prayed for him that night even though I didn't know his name, God does.
For some, Christmas is a season of festivities and it is easy to get caught up in who is around the table or the gifts we get or do not get. We all have our traditions and cultures. On the western side, there is a lot of gift-giving and cooking. In the culture I grew up around, it was mostly eating and receiving visitors. However, when I think about what the first Christmas meant, I see it as the celebration of a God who gave His son because He wanted a relationship with mankind. He could have looked the other way but He chose to send love. If you are in a giving mood or in a sad mood, that same God sees you where you are and He is reaching out to you with outstretched arms.
Merry Christmas!
