Be a Gift: Be Present

One of the greatest gifts we can give others, is to be present with them. Not give them presents, although everybody loves to get gifts, but to be present with them. So often, we're so busy this time of year; We are too busy for conversations. We're too busy to sit down with people. We spend so much time looking for presents for them that we miss the opportunity to be present with them. Jesus taught us to be present with them. That is the gift they need. Take time to sit down over a cup of coffee, hot chocolate, or, in Jim's case, maybe an eggnog. Being present with people could be one of the greatest Christmas gifts they get this year.  Find a way to be present with somebody from work this week, and Merry Christmas.
