Christmas means Love

Someone tell me, why is Christmas so soon?!
I think I need more time. More Christmas time.
Maybe I'll have to stretch Christmas into all next year! (nods) Because starting Christmas in July is just not enough.
I love how Christmas is the perfect excuse to give love, time and more love! Everyone craves it!
But I think we forget -well I do- that the lonely hearts are there all year round. And the longing hands are also there, just not stretching out tentatively. Lord help me to love all year long, and to give, not just at Christmas.

I just had to share cutie-handsome Benji with you. Never mind the picture being focused wrong. Love you Benny!

"Take a lesson from God in gift giving: His gift didn’t show us how powerful He was, how rich He was, or what good taste He had. His gift simply showed us that He loved us more than anything else in the world, and that He was willing to do whatever it took to make our lives wonderful. Do your best to give Jesus the best birthday He’s ever had, and He’ll give you the most wonderful, happy Christmas season you’ve ever had."

"You may not have costly presents of gold, frankincense, or myrrh to lay at My feet, but you can give Me gifts of your love and service. Those are what please Me the most."—Jesus

"Jesus was God’s gift to the world, not just for Christmas, but for every single day—your whole life through—and even beyond for all eternity, and for every need that you will ever have."
