When the money is short we economise by eating less. This could improve our health. We cut our heating and the germs are killed. We can't afford to go out, so we spend more time with our families, eating together at home. If the electricity is off all our gadgets are useless, so we engage in conversation instead. Most important of all we look toward God and find in him everything we need. Austerity may bring you the greatest blessing ever.
Every time I take a few days off from my blog my ratings slump. Very rarely do people go back into my old posts and read again. This is a typical attitude of the human heart, always wanting something different. At this time of year we should not be greedily wondering want new thing we will be getting for Christmas. Instead we should be looking at the old, old story, which is ever new of a baby who amazingly was God incarnate, God's gift to those who will put there trust in this one who was to grow up to give His life for His people. Set aside the controversy over whether December 25th is the actual date of His birth.(Shepherds do not keep their sheep out at night in Israel in December.) and set aside time to think about the fact that He did come and ponder if He came to set you free and if your answer is ,"Yes," He will make you free indeed.
