Dear friends and neighbors,
The days are quickly passing by and
Christmas with all its promises will be
upon us. As we go about the business of
selecting the proper gift for each
member of our family, we must take
care to keep the real meaning of
Christmas in focus.
Christmas is a season about love. It is
about the love of giving. God gave His
greatest gift to us when he started the
Christmas event. He gave us Himself. He
humbled Himself to take on a human
form in order that He could reach out
and touch our lives in a dramatic way.'
God placed Himself in a manger as an in-
fant in order that we might see the length
to which He will go to offer us the gift of
everlasting life.
As God gave Himself,to us in the per-
son of Jesus Christ, He also gaye us
another gift. It is this second gift that we
at times forget, or neglect, or just
deliberately avoid. That gift is our

neighbor. God makes Himself present to
each of us every day m the presence of
our neighbors.
If we all look at our neighbors
forehead, we should see an imprint. That
imprint says: JCDFMA. Translated it
means: Jesus Christ Died For Me Also. It
is the gift of loving relationships that br-
ing out the best of the "true spirit of •
Christmas".
So, as the days rush away and each of
us are caught up in gift buying, gift
wrapping, trimming the tree, and making
our final preparations for "Santa Claus",
take time to heal a strained or broken
relationship. This would be the greatest
gift you could give back to God.
Remember JCDFMA.
Have a blessed Christmas and a fruit-
ful New Year.
