I have written about this before. Why is there so much fear going around? People are afraid to look at each other. If you smile too much they think you’re crazy. Here’s one. Last Monday, it was cold and raining hard. I wore a ball cap, a hoodie jacket and a jacket on top of that. People were afraid to come near me, until I smiled at them. It is almost like the world has gone to hell in a hand basket. I was at the most famous breakfast place. There was a new employee taking my order. She wasn’t smiling and not talking very much. She was afraid. It must have been her first job. There was a manager buzzing around her to get her to open up. But she had a stone face. I don’t know if she will last. Fear will make you do strange things. Things you wouldn’t normally do. With the Christmas season in full swing, everybody is running around with things to do. And most of all, people are spending more money than they generally have. Courtesy is needed more than ever. I know people don’t usually smile after spending their hard-earned cash. But if we smile and hold doors open for people, it will make a difference. It will definitely make a difference in other people’s lives and yours. And that is what Christmas is about. We do this by being kind and generous to each other. Christmas didn’t start out by spending all your money. It was sharing a meal and your home with someone who needed it. we are the gifts of Christmas, not the trinkets we buy. God gave His Son, because He love the world and wanted us to come home. God wants all His children to come home and share in the banquet planned for us. I pray that you have a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year.
