What Is Your Dream?

   The Christmas season is here and in full swing. This is a time of year of great joy and promise. People this time of year tend to more curtious and forgiving, or so it seems. Could it be that we are seeing a reflection of us? It is said that the easiest way to see someone smile is to smile at them first. Maybe we are putting out the Christmas Spirit and that is what we are seeing in return. Either way it is wonderful to see so many smiling faces and the joy of a hearty Merry Christmas from someone on the street.  As you read this and the busy of Christmas begins to over take you, take a moment and remeber those who holiday will not be so cheery. You all have known someone who is a "bah humbug". Those are the people that need the Spirit the most. So when you are in the store with 10,000 others and someone seems cross or is having a most unfortunate day, smile and tell them Merry Christmas, God Loves You. The reations will very, but however that encounter comes out you will have shown the light of Christ in an amazing way. Never be ashamed of the Gospel of Christ!
