I’m noticing more and more houses in my neighborhood getting Christmas lights outside. My neighbor across the street was the first this year, by lighting up about a week before Thanksgiving. I might have taken second place, but not sure. Slowly, but surely, more and more homes are being adorned with various kinds of lights that are noticeable as I drive into the neighborhood.
Watching the spread of Christmas lights made me think of spreading the light of the Good News of Jesus. Wouldn’t it be great to see home after home filled with the light of God?
Here’s where I think you and I can help spread some light this season:
- Invite someone to Christmas services (Christmas Eve is a favorite of many)
- Invite someone over for a holiday party to show God’s love
- Take a plate of cookies or goodies to a neighbor
- Sponsor a family’s Christmas through our Hope for the Holidays effort
- Get some friends together and go caroling through your neighborhood one evening (pick the ones that sing good!)
Those are just a few suggestions that can help spread some of God’s light to those around us. What are some things you would like to do or have done in the past?
